I wanted to ask the Minister about the expansion of bands for working family payments. Has that translated into a larger uptake among people? Have the wage inflation or wage increases within our economy counterbalanced the changes we have made? Are we seeing many more people availing of the working family payment? Has expanding those bands been a success? Do we have a sense of the anti-poverty impact, which is what we are hoping to get from this payment?
