Welfare Reform Bill

Yes, more. So the drop from 80 per cent to 70 per cent is, in a sense, being paid for by the people already in receipt of the £400 million. Effectively, that is going to the people working 16 hours, for whom £300 million has been allocated. I know that there is a £100 million difference, but effectively it is the people in receipt of 80 per cent who are now paying for it to be increased for those below 16 hours. Is that correct?
