I'm with Grant on the Eady type levy, although I know the Treasury hated it precisely because it took control away from politicians and didn't go through them.

I also believe the money should be focused on development, distribution and training - and spread as widely as possible in those areas. Most projects don't need a lot of help - they just need help.

Small amounts spread widely and thinly will have the most productive effect and encourage the innovation and risk that are essential for a thriving industry.

And if you get those three areas right, then production is the easy bit - relatively speaking!
