But i recognize how important it is to provide business, the Public Sector and everybody with as much certainty as possible as we go through the process. So where we can offer that certainty, we will do so. That is why, last year, we acted quickly to get clarity about farm payments and university fu funding. It is why, as we repeal the european communities act we will convert the body of existing eu law into british law. This will give the country maximum certainty as we leave the eu. The same rules and laws will apply on the day after brexit as they did before. It will be for the British Parliament to decide on any changes to that law after full scrutiny and proper parliamentary debate. When it comes to parliament there is one other way id like to provide certainty. I can confirm today the government will put the final deal agreed between the uk and eu to a vote of both houses of parliament before it comes into force.

Policy at water in the west. Matthew turner is professor of economics at brown who has written a bit about transportation. Dan wilson is at Federal Reserve bank in San Francisco and speaks only for himself and not for janet yellen or anybody else at the fed. And cliff linsen is our colleague here. I have asked each to say pretend we had a president of the United States who has a short attention span. And pretend that he ran for office saying i want to spend a lot more money on infrastructure. Pretend for a moment that this tax credit thing was something thought up and will never resurface again, what would you tell him about how to wisely spend the money . I asked each to give us the seven or eight minute spiel that they would give in the oval office and then we will have interaction. It is putting a lot of pressure on time to ask them to keep to that thing but make you do it. Maybe i can start with you because we havent talked about water at all. There has been a bit of focus on water
