It is quite extraordinary that one will find whole groups of workers in particular industries. They are treated in the same way from a Revenue point of view. As I say, there is the law of the land rather than silos where there are different laws which people have to figure out for themselves. More than benefits is at issue here. I think Mr. McKeon will appreciate that. I understand that different Departments will do different things. There has to be symmetry between those.
