Mr. Bernard Gloster:
Yes. The hours went up in 2013 and the hours went down following the change last year. They net each other off in how the hours are counted, yes. I am very satisfied that the WTE counting is accurate and correct. The INMO has raised this issue with me. I have had the WTE accounting looked to make sure that it is fair, balanced and takes account of the same approach that was applied when the hours went up as it does to when the hours went down.
