I am sorry. Maybe I was not paying sufficient attention but I did not quite get what the Minister said. How many jobs will be created? Page 7 of the document states that the ambition is to have 100,000 more people in work by 2016. The Minister seemed to recognise in his reply that if we are to have 100,000 more people net at work by 2016, obviously, we will have to create more than 100,000 jobs in between because we will have attrition of various sorts, as he mentioned. What was his gross figure again in order to achieve a target of 100,000 net? Did I understand him to say the gross figure was 200,000?
