I have a follow-up question on the basic income for the arts scheme. I do not think I said in the last round that I think it is brilliant that it is being rolled out for artists. I appreciate that the scheme is particularly suited to the artistic community where there is so much precarity and difficulty in making a living. I also have an interest in how basic income can be applied into other sectors, particularly seasonal farmers and those in care roles in the home. What is in the budget to model that and learn from what we are doing in the arts community to make sure we can share what we learn with other Departments? Is that factored into the budgetary process so we capture all that?
