00:00There was lots of information appearing in the press which perhaps wouldn't normally be out there
00:07and that this wasn't, from our point of view, particularly helpful.
00:10Yes, well that's a fact, well a fact, you say that, but did anyone from the OBR raise it?
00:16I think it was clear that we didn't find this helpful, we made that clear.
00:20Can you tell us who you raised it with, the OBR raised it with?
00:23With Treasury officials you'll appreciate that we have regular meetings during the process of producing a call card.
00:28And when did you start raising those concerns?
00:32I think certainly during the lead up to the pre-measures forecast when there was speculation.
00:40Some of these misconceptions, as I've described them, were appearing in the press
00:45and we made it clear that they were not helpful and that we weren't in a position, of course, to put them right.
