I stress again that the new rate has not been set and, until it has, it is not sensible to try to draw those conclusions. We have set out very clearly the structure of the new allowance and the support that goes with it. We have made it clear that, in the main phase, the basic allowance will be above the long-term IB rate. That seems to be an appropriate framework in which to consider these provisions.
