No, this is a separate measure which focuses very much on the use of Eurodac. The question about direct provision will be dealt with when we deal with the large immigration Bill and whether we decide to take out a part of that and deal with the protection issues alone. In my view that is probably the most effective way to deal with the issues surrounding the timeframe and the delays in the asylum seeking process at present. This regulation does not impact on that.
