I have one final supplementary question on an issue about which I am particularly concerned. We are wearing our budgetary oversight hats and I am broadly sympathetic to the compelling argument put forward by the witnesses, but is there any evidence that trade union membership has fallen off because of fees and that tax relief would assist and encourage members?
