My view and the Government's view on this is that we should gather the information and see what the facts are. When we see the facts, we will be able to make a decision. I have no idea what the facts will be until we gather them. The purpose of this is to start gathering the information and the facts. There is a precedent in social protection legislation which, in my view, is probably the model we should follow, but we need information about what happened during Covid before we can draft any proposal. We have to gather the information first. I have an open mind, but my instinct is no insurance company should profit on any State supports, and I believe there would be a unanimous view in the House on that.
