I heard all that. They have it all listed here, which I appreciate. I am asking Mr. Thompson about the reverse end of it. Can he tell us by how much insurance premiums have gone up? That is what the average Joe Soap is paying. Such persons elect us. Those are who we represent here. That is why we are all here having a chat. I would really like to know the correlation. We understand that the claims have gone up. Mr. Thompson has that detailed exceptionally clearly here and he has a pile more figures in that regard. How have premiums gone up? A basic question is, how is the sector linking this back to premiums? I presume Mr. Thompson thought he would be asked it at some point today. Can he shed any light on it for me?
