Mr. Declan Hughes:
I will deal with the point about the review. It will look at the applicants. There will be spot-checks across local authorities and sectors. It will look specifically at the declarations that were made. It was a self-declaration, but it was clear to the individuals that they should retain those records and that they would be subject to further checks. That will be part of the evaluation. It is about the turnover levels, the sectors that they were in, the TWSS etc.
