We have all seen many estimates about this, but many of them are "guesstimates".
I believe that the 146 programme is guesstimated now at about £200 million.
The fact that those estimates are really guesstimates is not a fair criticism.
Widely cited guesstimates for trafficking range from 600,000 to 900,000 victims worldwide each year.
It is difficult to guesstimate or assert anything and because, by definition, we are talking about something in the future, no one can prove anything.
The answer derived must have been a guesstimate because it uses figures which, by their nature, cannot be accurately substantiated.
I do not ask for a commitment, but may we have a guesstimate of how long consultations will take?
My guesstimate is that they might be worth around £5 million to the major parties.
