Ms Laura Weymes:
I just wanted to come in on the participation trends by age cohort. The Deputy asked about the return of the under 26 bracket in particular. During the crisis we saw a very significant tail-off in participation in the two younger brackets. A lot of the uptake in participation we are seeing now is being driven by those returns.
