The point I want to make is simply this. There will be a legal challenge. There is no doubt about that in my mind. It will be decided on the basis of whether this changes the legislation. If we are changing the legislation, obviously it is good to do that. I would say that caution is needed. Let us try to make sure that we make available the services that were envisaged in all such situations and circumstances before we start to change them.
