I thank the Deputy. I have a couple of concluding questions. Ms Kelly referenced pensions earlier on. Where there is an overpayment to an individual with respect to their pension entitlements, she wants to put in place an agreement with that individual to see that repayment being made. Is there any sort of timeframe that prohibits a clawback in law? It has been suggested that there may be a four-year clawback clause there and there is no legal basis with anything that exceeds that. Is that correct, or is Ms Kelly aware of any particular time?
