We will do it through the current vouch scheme we have for local authority members. What we did this year on foot of the reforms requested through the Moorhead report is we have brought about a fully transparent vouch system for all local authority members where they have to furnish invoices in respect of payments they give. It is through mirroring that system that we will be giving the extra allowance to the local authority member in question.
