There are all sorts of scams whereby companies do not pay the 12.5%. The agreement refers to investing in the future. We must tackle these issues and be strong. Let us work together on dealing with crime North and South of the Border. I will not take any lectures from Tories or Tory supporters in this country when they talk about crime but have no problem spending billions of pounds building Trident nuclear weapons and will not invest in services for people with disabilities, teachers or education. It is an important step, and we need to focus. While we can fight like hell on the socioeconomic issues, I welcome this important step in resolving the conflict on the island.
