Could I ask the Minister whether in the context of the discussions he has had with the head of the troika if he had an opportunity to discuss any of the alternatives in order to bring to a satisfactory conclusion to the discussions that have already taken place and the need to address the issues arising? I accept this is based on hypothesis to a certain extent. Was it possible to illustrate for the troika the Government’s ability to meet its requirements by the end of the year?
