Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I remind the minister of her first speech as finance minister on 14 October 2010, when she said:

The need for discipline and rigour is patent. That is why the Government has made it clear that the return to surplus is not negotiable.

If it was a non-negotiable promise then, why is it not even a promise now?
