I hear what the Minister is saying. There is a report already being compiled but this proposed amendment is concerned with where that report is going, on what basis it is being compiled and what is being looked at in the report that is being undertaken. This amendment is quite specific. It proposes a report on the effects of the back to work family dividend to include the poverty rates among those in receipt of it. While the Minister's report might look at specific areas, the report I am looking for is not a million miles away from what is being undertaken but it hones in on those specific areas. I do not see why the Minister could not agree to this amendment. Having it in the Bill will ensure the report is carried out and produced in a timely manner with these areas specifically being focused on.
