That would be of great help. At this stage, if we are having an overall look at pensions, we must look at what people contribute and the return they get from that contribution. I move on. A great deal of Mr. Duggan's submission was very clear. He said approximately 35% of people in the private sector had pensions. Do we have a breakdown in regard to that 35% in terms of earnings? It occurs to me that the higher earner is more likely to contribute to a pension scheme than somebody on or just above the minimum wage. Is there any further breakdown on that figure of 35% within the private sector?
