I propose to take Questions Nos. 206 to 211, inclusive, together.

I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the estimated full year cost to the Exchequer of a reduction in the standard rate of Value Added Tax by 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6% is as follows.

The estimates provided are based on current expectations of VAT yield in 2009.
