I believe Mr. Hammersley is under time pressure. As I stated earlier, it has all been said at this stage. We have talked about decoupling, disregards and means testing, and the fact that there are not fit-for-purpose schemes as regards work activations for disabled people. We need to make sure the supports are there, the routeways that Deputy Carrigy was talking about, reasonable accommodation and all that.

I ask for the witnesses' comments if anything has been left out at this point. As he is under time pressure, we will start with Mr. Hammersley. Obviously, we were really thankful in relation to the commentary on best practice. I think there is a piece of work that has to be done by the witnesses.
