Mr. John McKeon:
The number of people entitled to this payment is falling. This can mainly be attributed to changes in the live register. We have put an extra week into the payment. I remind the committee that we paid an extra week this year. We paid a supplementary week because of bad weather. We had 27 weeks. The Government decided earlier this year that an extra week of fuel allowance should be paid.
