I gathered that it was meant to be ironic—I think that I got there before the hon. Gentleman felt it necessary to make the point. It would be nice to be appreciated in his constituency, but that is clearly not the case in one part of the high street. My decision to cut the rate of VAT, which puts about £12.5 billion into the economy, will have an effect. It is not just there for one month, and it was not just there for Christmas. It is there for a 13-month period, and it has to be seen alongside a range of other measures: reducing tax for basic rate taxpayers, help for families and pensioners, and measures to bring forward construction. The difference between the hon. Gentleman and me is that I believe that Government have a duty to help the economy—and should do so—through times such as this, and he does not think so. The country will judge, but the lesson from the '80s and '90s is that if you do nothing, you will pay a heavy price.
