It would take all dependent adults across the system of working age. It is different with the State non-contributory pension. It applies to the State contributory pension but I think we can even look at a more radical solution there. It is a slightly different issue. What I am talking about is that in cases of farm assist, jobseeker's allowance and disability, etc., you would ease it quite dramatically on the dependent adult to make it much more economically viable to go and take up work.
