What won't now happen is that we won't make further or new investment decisions
00:05
and that means that we won't reach the 28 billion pounds envisaged and that
00:11
effect that figure is effectively stood down. The reason for that is because
00:16
since we announced the 28 billion the Tories have done terrible damage to our
00:21
economy not just the Liz Trust's budget but also now the government briefing
00:26

00:31
have to anticipate the circumstances as they are now not as I'd wish them to be.
