I do not have a queue of people asking for more income tax. If I did, we could discuss the matter. However, I do have a queue of people worried about asthma in children and about the environment they live in. The people who complain about greenfield site developments need to understand that we have to create a good environment in our towns and cities in respect of air quality, education and security. Those are key drivers that make towns nicer places to live in.
People understand that there are better alternatives in transport.
I very much back the extra investment in public transport to be made over the next 10 years. Through the combined effort delivered in the Budget, we have a situation in which education standards are being driven forward to help the economy, but where the economy also helps education. Those problems, which were endemic under Conservative Governments, are being targeted directly and broken down. We are taking an enormous step forward. Only a few years ago, those of us who talked about full employment were told that it could not happen again.
