As my right hon. Friend has ducked this Question, will my hon. Friend ask my right hon. Friend to fight the battle for these people with the Treasury? I have a great respect for my right hon. Friend's courage, but I wish that he would exercise it on the Treasury instead of in other aspects of our Commonwealth life? Many of these people have been extremely badly treated by the Treasury, which I am sure is not my right hon. Friend's wish, so why does not he get on with putting a bit of real stimulus under the Treasury to do what ought to be done?
