Mr. John McKeon:
Just on the targeted cases, there is a high rate in the targeted cases, but I would emphasise that they are targeted. There is one sector, in particular, that the committee is aware of and has written to me about. We have to go through the investigation and we will do so. However, the particular employers already acknowledged that many of them are self-employed through a separate process. Therefore, one would expect the rate to be quite high in those cases.
