What we are proposing is a relatively generous scheme, but we have not yet drafted all of the regulations. There is no reason I should not give the committee some indication of what we hope will be included in them and I will do so as soon as I can. We hope the discounts will be related far more to income than was the case in the past, when it was mainly a matter of length of tenancy. At issue is the provision of discounts of up to 60% for persons on low incomes.
