I am asking this because the detail is where all of this lies. It is very easy to make observations at top line level, as I have done, but it is when one gets into the real detail of this that one begins to understand the picture. Mr. Rooney said it is because many of the allowances are related to operational work and because those operations are concentrated at the mid- to lower end of the salary scale that there a higher percentage of the total compensation is taken at, say, private or sergeant level. Have I understood that point correctly?
