I am sorry, but I would like the Minister's help in understanding which £2 billion the Public Accounts Committee was talking about in its report. It said, "““Approximately £628 million of the £2 billion set aside for Universal Credit is capital expenditure and a further £400 million is to cover the increased benefits … So less than half of the funds … will be available for staff costs””."
Is that the £2 billion that he was just talking about?
