I thank Ms McElwee. She might come back to us later and let us know if they have carried out any research with respect to abuse. I ask Ms Bambrick, in light of what Ms McElwee said, to outline the position of the trade union movement with regard to abuse of schemes. If a person in a company is abusing a scheme and we do not know to what extent that might be, that other workers actually have to pick up the slack and might feel discommoded which may lead to people being disgruntled which is understandable. Would Ms Bambrick comment on that please?
