Mr Hayes
Yes, the answer to that question is that we need to do that in a range of ways. Sometimes the mechanisms used do not reach the very people whom one wants to help most. I do believe in the redistribution of advantage; perhaps in that sense I take a rather more forward position than the Labour party.
Cathy Jamieson (Kilmarnock and Loudoun) (Lab/Co-op)
The Minister has said that there are more than 400 tariffs at the moment. How many will there be after he legislates?
