Okay, but there is a variety of different amounts. I want to focus in on one, which is the one in the Department of Health. I remember the discussions going on about Army pay and how we could not look at one group of people separately, yet that seems to happen when it comes to higher grades. Would the Department have been asked to approve a sizeable difference, for example, in respect of the Secretary General in the Department of Health or the Secretary General in the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage? Why are they taken out separately?
