I will stay on the pension issue because the next one would probably require a long preamble. For the Comptroller and Auditor General, this is probably not a dissimilar question in terms of the accumulated balances in the pension control account. We have been provided with a briefing note which is quite thorough. My knowledge of pension law is not great. Mr. Brownlee has outlined that the HEA expects the temporary measure to be eradicated shortly - in a couple of years perhaps. Would that be accurate?
