It was sent to the Department. I will give the Minister of State a copy of the submission and he might let me have his views on it in order that we can come back to it again before we finish our consideration of the Finance Bill.

Before me move on to the next section, the Department is also responsible for the primary medical certificate. Has it ever reviewed how the scheme operates and how restrictive it is in qualifying for relief under it? Are there plans to widen it? It is almost impossible to deal with. May we receive a note on it, with background information and perhaps the reasons it will not happen or will remains as it is? I think every Member of the House would have a complaint about how tight it is.
