This country depends to a very considerable extent on corporation tax, which has been referred to many times in the House over the years. Given that some multinational corporations have slowed down in terms of profits, has that been included in the continuous evaluation that goes on?

To what extent is the Minister building that into the calculations that have to evolve as time goes by?
