I am talking not about start-ups but about long-in-the-tooth businesses that have survived the recession and now want to move ahead. The issue is not that the banks are analysing business plans and finding them wanting but that they are not even talking to businesses.

As the report said—and as Angus MacDonald pointed out—it is hard to assess the impact of the removal of RET against the background of the general economic situation in a recession. Between 2008 and 2012, there was a 16 per cent increase in haulage costs, which was primarily a result of increases in other costs, such as the 17 per cent increase in fuel costs...

Obviously, they know how to do business—sometimes much better than we do—but they have to put that language to one side and think about creating and doing daft things and staring at a wall for three hours.That language has its place, certainly in a country where there is less funding and a recession.

The Scottish National Party MP for the Western Isles, Angus MacNeil, is reported in Hebrides News Today of 29 November as saying:“I believe it is a major mistake to remove RET from the haulage industry … The whole point of RET is to help the economy of the islands, increasing transport costs for the haulage industry at a time of crippling fuel costs is disappointing. As recessions go, the Hebrides have fared reasonably well, this was I am sure helped by RET.”On 6 December, Mr MacNeil declared himself to be“fully supportive of the hauliers in the Outer Hebrides”and stated that:“The removal of RET will ultimately lead to an increase in prices for customers in our islands … If this is not sorted freight costs and prices will go up which could ultimately impact on jobs.”Donald Joseph Maclean of Barratlantic Ltd joined him in that press release, stating:“Since RET came into effect four years ago, we have been on the same working level as our mainland competitors and our turnover has increased by 20%, which made us competitive.

Has that practice increased in your company during the past two years, specifically throughout the recession? Only to the extent that, in a recession, many more customers and businesses get into financial difficulties so you end up with a lot of people facing hard-core overdrafts that no longer fluctuate into credit ...
