Yes. The sequence I have is from 2006 when it was €167 million. In 2007 it was €226 million. In 2008 it was €267 million. I presume the standard rate came into effect in 2009 because the amount paid reduced to €146 million. It was €127 million in 2010 and €131 million in 2011. I am told the amount of relief has increased again but I do not have the figures for 2012.
