Where I have been misrepresented is this persistent nonsense that somehow or another nothing has been said about it. What I said last week, for example, was this:

We support these changes in principle, subject to the final details in the legislation.

We note that the cost has already blown out by $1 billion since the budget in May—this vindicates our caution about the total cost of the package.

End of story!
