I heard it while driving home.  The interviewee was Senator Brian Greig.
He sounded quite well informed, but I was a bit surprised at one thing.
He mentioned that companies could save money because the boss realised
that "I've been supplying my people with a Rolls Royce on the desktop,
when they only need a Mini".

But over all, very encouraging.
