There is a clear distinction—and I would have thought that even the opposition could understand this—between a legislative ban, which we do not support, and legislative amendments to disclose covered short selling. As I have just explained—and, unfortunately, given that question, I have to explain it again—there is a very important distinction between the government saying, and as I have said on many occasions: we will not legislatively ban short selling.
