You will be reassured that the point I actually made was about the geographical impact of the measure, Mr Amess. I simply asked the Minister to reassure us that the impact of the measure on every part of the country and on the different types of economies has been considered. We have urbanised aspects and we have rural and coastal. Different areas are suffering in different ways in the current economic climate, and some parts of the country are not suffering at all as a result of the economic climate. That must be borne in  mind when introducing charges and levies of this nature, although we welcome the Government’s clamping down on avoidance.
