Ms Kathleen Stack:
The qualified adult on the contributory State pension was one that came up when we did the control survey on that scheme a couple of years ago. It is an area where we have done a lot of work and reviewing. For example, this year we have reviewed approximately 12,500 of those qualified adults on the State pension. We have made a lot of savings out of it.
