The business community knows that this scheme is being designed. There is a lot of engagement there. It is positive and correct that the Minister has reaffirmed today that money has been set aside to fund that. That is the important part. We all want to have it as quickly as we possibly can but it is really important that it was confirmed the scheme would be established in the announcement on the cost-of-living measures.

I am glad to be able it has been confirmed again that the money will be set aside to pay for that.
