Absolutely. I am not here today in that way. Much of my work might be highly partisan or highly political. This is not here to embarrass the Government or promote Opposition parties or anybody else to put forward particular proposals. It is merely that here is a principle I would love us to collectively embrace. Ideally, I would love to see something in the programme for Government, all parties' manifestos and all Independents' in the future. As a principle, it can assist with many of the issues in terms of costs of raising children.
