I am just making the point that the Government is so askew on issues which should be coherent in order that is confidence is restored. We need confidence among consumers and citizens at large in order that when politicians say something, people can believe us. This means standing over what we say. It is my impression from the Bill that the levy will continue and be increased. The reason it will be increased is to meet shortfalls in this area and there is no doubt that there will be shortfalls.
