My hon. Friend mentioned the benefits review. The figure of £1.1 billion is for the expected benefits of the ID scheme and it includes £570 million savings from the prevention and reduction of ID fraud. Since he published those figures, he has revised his estimate of the total amount of ID fraud from £1.3 billion to £1.7 billion. Has he, or his officials, done any work to estimate whether he should therefore revise the figure for the benefits expected from the scheme?
