My Lords, I thank the Minister. However, I will stay unrepentant on the point. The hard statutory targets in here are about relative household incomes, including material deprivation, which is a very closely related measure. There is a difference between us in this area. We are trying to incorporate in just as tough a way, in terms of statutory targets, an approach that aims to tackle the causes of poverty. That is a difference and we have gone through it on several occasions.
