You related your material to the question, Prime Minister, and I outlined what I thought was the deficiency in the type of questioning that invites a yes/no answer. That can't be compelled, and you're entitled to confirm a number of things that you've already done. But, as I say, moving on from that to a general answer about the budget and everything the budget does is not the same as confirming all of those facts and figures that you did earlier. The question didn't mention the budget at all.
