One cohort comprises officeholders and another comprises retired senior public servants, who make up a very small number. Those being assessed at present comprise a pool of 13,000 who may have been underpaid or subject to under-provision based on an allowance they received as part-time workers. The number the Deputy seeks is not available. It would pertain to a retired cohort who were underpaid rather than overpaid. I refer to the broad pool of people impacted in that instance.
