Q76 Chairman: Mr Cunliffe, welcome to
you and your colleagues. I believe you are hotfoot from the ECOFIN
meeting on the Stability and Growth Pact.
Mr Cunliffe: That is right, yes.
Q77 Chairman: We will maybe come on to
that.
Mr Cunliffe: I bring news from
the battlefield.

and your colleagues for the shorthand writers, please.
Mr Cunliffe: On my right is Dave
Ramsden, the Director of Tax and Budget; on his right John Kingman,
the Director of our Enterprise and Growth Unit; on my left Sarah
Mullen, the Director of Public Spending; and on her left Mr Tony
Orhnial, the new Director of Personal Tax and Welfare Reform.
Q79 Chairman: You are all welcome. Can
you update us on whether there was a satisfactory agreement at
that meeting today or does the Chancellor want to tell us that
tomorrow?
Mr Cunliffe: I think the Chancellor
probably will want to tell you that tomorrow.
