I shall go on to the supplementary questions asked by the noble Lord, Lord Addington. Some of our correspondents have pointed out that the higher rate of invalidity benefit is £80 a week, whereas the average in receipt is more like £90 a week. Therefore, one wonders whether the levels will be closer to the average or the minimum. By the look on his face, the Minister is not prepared to answer that, so I had better move on fairly swiftly.
