The Minister might give me his views on that. I know there may be scope, but I caution against making any cuts that are not needed. We have a good programme. There are always some people who are tempted to go harder, faster and deeper and that may be a positive outlook, but there are downsides. There is a limit to the pain people can take and the Minister should take heed of that.
