Mr. Johnson is very welcome. It is great to listen to his take given his experience in the UK. I will go back to his point that people in their 50s or 60s who are out of work are getting a relatively poor jobseeker's allowance or jobseeker's benefit, as we call it here. Then when people come to pension age they come into a different category. I might have missed what Mr. Johnson said. Is it just the pensions that are index-linked or are all social welfare payments index-linked?
