Will you describe how dating happens? Who is party to it? Have there been cases in which the absence of dating or a question about dating has led to difficulties in how you do things in your jurisdiction?
I expect a slower pick-up post-recession and I expect it to take longer to fill the output gap that has emerged in the years of recession and to return to where we would be if we had not gone into the pit that we are in.
I also thank the broadcasting team and of course all the members, who were willing to give up their recess. I know that you are all working anyway, but committees do not usually meet during recess, so we very much appreciate that.
However, the work is at an advanced stage—conceivably it could be published before Christmas, but I will probably reflect on it over the recess and publish it early in the new year.
