When looking at what temporary, targeted supports will be needed, I will look at other measures that could be taken to fund them which may include, most notably, a level of borrowing. This is an issue with which we will deal when we move into the budgetary process itself. We have to get the mixture right. We have to ensure that the resources are in place to support public services. I then need to engage with key stakeholders regarding what further may be needed to support the economy at a time of great change. At this point in time it is very difficult to say what that might be. It is very early to be forming a view on what the impact of Brexit could be and, therefore, on the plans that will be needed.
