Thank you very much, John Grady MP. Thank you very much, Dame Harriet. I've not crossed the floor. Minister, the last chair of the OBR, Richard Hughes, resigned on the 1st of December 2025, which is six and a half months ago. The recruitment campaign was launched on the 20th of February 2026, almost three months after his resignation.
