Yes, we would appreciate that. It just does not seem to stack up. There would also be a cost arising from those people under the means threshold who would end up getting the jobseeker's allowance as well. It seems to be an astronomical number to extend it for a further three months and it runs contrary to the evidence Mr. Hession gave to the committee earlier. If he could provide us with a detailed note explaining it, we would appreciate that.
