Will the hon. Gentleman assist us on one point? He seems to be saying that, on the one hand, flexibility is the cornerstone of our economy, but, on the other hand, we do not have flexibility. May I prod him a little more and ask him why, when we have the highest employment rates and the highest number of people employed, he continues to complain about the markets not being sufficiently flexible? Will he please explain that to us?
