Yes, and one member of Plaid Cymru asked for the annual accounts and was refused them. [Hon. Members: ““Ah!””] The hon. Gentleman flew into that one. All I shall say is that a sample of 47 people is about as useful as a pair of paper socks, as it does not take us anywhere at all. The process is not scientific. I have heard programmes on which the hon. Gentleman has said about a political sample, ““Oh, this is a sample of only 500; it is not indicative of anything.”” Well, 47 is not exactly persuasive. For all I know, some of the 47 had been in the pub that has been mentioned and were confused before they started. Who knows?
