Very good. That is very interesting. As regards the overall issue of indexation, the discussion here includes all social welfare benefits, including jobseeker's allowance, disability allowances and the whole area of social protection, which is probably where most of the certainty needs to be in place for people who cannot work for a particular reason. We need to consider how they will be protected until they get to pension age. What comment or advice does Mr. Johnson have on tackling an issue such as that?
