It would be good to see the data on that to understand where that is happening.

My last question is around the difference between the two systems and what happens if we introduce our rate of unemployment benefit. It is more than twice the rate in the UK. It is approximately 2.7 times the rate in the North. What would happen there in terms of the impact on the economy? Would the witnesses say it had to be levelled? How would that be levelled? Do either of the witnesses have any comment on the economic impacts of that?
