I am trying to recall evidence we heard two months ago, but a number of the witnesses who were not coming from a right of centre viewpoint were at pains to point out that our taxation and welfare system was among the most redistributive that exists in the European Union. Again, is that something the witnesses would have found out from conducting investigations or would they have a different view on that point?
