The key point in this section is the phasing out of the relief, which I argue should be done in a more speedy fashion. How does the Minister categorise or measure what is unduly harsh for this group of individuals? From my viewing of later sections of the Bill, I know the same consideration has not been applied to other individuals who are unduly burdened through harsh measures in this Bill. I ask him to elaborate on how he decides what is unduly harsh.
