And we allowed for that in our projections of overall demand pressure. But right up to last summer there was evidence of increasing tightness in the labour market, reflected in increasing skills shortages and recruitment difficulties, in the employment and unemployment data and in gradually rising pay settlements as well as in the available earnings data.
