I want the Minister to clarify a point relating to the reduction of approximately 170,000 in the number of people expected to benefit. Do we know how many of them are already getting the PAYE credit? Is it the case that we are not giving them a second credit by way of the earned income tax credit? How many of these do not have either the PAYE credit or will not now get the earned income tax credit because their income sources are non-schedule D, in other words, they are not on Case 1, Case 2 or Case 3 incomes under schedule D? What is the profile?
