Is the definition of "undue hardship" in terms of these people categorised by the Department to the effect that they will find it difficult feed their children and to cover the cost of their education? How does the Minister define undue hardship? It will be interesting to have his definition of it as we deal with other sections in which he has not allowed a phasing-out period for measures but has changed them with immediate effect.
