00:03Yes, and I said during the election campaign that I want people to be able to trust me with the public finances.
00:09I will never play fast and loose with the public finances, because when you do, it's ordinary family finances and business finances that pay the price.
00:17And that's why in the budget this week, I was really clear going into it and coming out of it, that I wanted to build up that fiscal economic resilience.
00:25So the headroom that I had in the spring statement of Ā£9.9 billion, I've taken that up to Ā£21.7 billion.
00:34And I know that some people are suggesting that there was a small surplus that the OBR published on Friday.
00:42But if I was on this programme today, Laura, and I was saying Ā£4 billion surplus is fine, there was no economic repair job to be done, I think you would rightly be saying that's not good enough.
00:53That would have been the lowest surplus that any chancellor ever delivered against their fiscal rules.
00:58I was clear that I wanted to build up that resilience, and that is why I took those decisions to get that headroom to Ā£21.7 billion.
