00:00How have you come to this level, this money you're giving away from this non-doms figure,
00:06and to Zia Yusuf also to you, do you worry it might be misappropriated?
00:10Will it go to two people on the same income and the same family doubling up?
00:14Will even criminals get it?
00:17Well, hang on a second. This is for working people.
00:21This is for, rather like our child tax credits, it's for working people.
00:25We're doing everything we can.
00:27We've said from the start that we are the party of working people.
00:31We are the party of those that get up early in the morning and go to work.
00:36We're the party of people who don't want to go on benefits.
00:40They want for their own sense of pride to keep on working,
00:43but find themselves, in many situations, very little better off than the couple that live next door
00:49and choose not to work as a lifestyle choice.

00:56So the idea that criminals are going to get it, etc., just is not going to be the case.
01:03How do we reach the figure?
01:05It's about finding a figure that we think lots of people will pay,
01:09because what we want are lots and lots of job creators, lots and lots of risk takers,
01:15lots and lots of entrepreneurs to come into our country.
01:18We believe we've got this figure right, and I am certain, I am absolutely certain,
01:25this would have a big uptake in the first few years.
01:27We believe we've got this figure right, and we're going to get it, and we're going to get it, and we're going to get it, and we're going to get it, and we're going to get it, and we're going to get it, and we're going to get it, and we're going to get it, and we're going to get it.
