What is interesting is to see the long-term picture here and how that performs because nobody can deny the fact that people are living longer. There are some mitigating factors given that more people work after 66, so they might even be getting a State pension but are also paying tax. There are a lot of complications. However, what is interesting to do is to track performance versus the projections and see is there consistently an overcaution, particularly if you leave out Covid as you cannot make a projection based on that. It is impossible to predict.
