I will conclude. What is most worrying is that the Government has confirmed to the troika that it may take additional measures during the year if it does not meet its targets. It stated: "While we do not envisage that revisions will be needed, we kept stand ready to take any corrective action that may become necessary to meet changing circumstances." Given that the Government's growth projections have been reduced on numerous occasions in the budget speech, I wonder whether we will see a mini-budget and a new finance Bill before the end of the year.
