However, as I understand it, there is no report that specifically homes in on social welfare and the fuel allowance. What the proposer of the amendment has in mind, if I interpret him correctly, is that we have something to show the impact of the cuts on the actual levels of fuel poverty and how much of an impact it would have on fuel poverty on an incremental basis if those cuts were gradually restored. I believe that would be useful. I suggest that the Minister would give this amendment further consideration between now and Report Stage. On balance, I think it would be useful.
