Not today. I always try to take on board points. I genuinely take on board anything that is coming but we have been through this with the Office of the Attorney General and we have been trying to keep consistency with regard to the anomalies highlighted in the judgment in the first place and correct them across the schemes. If we were to proceed without making these changes there would be challenges. It has nothing to do with being cost neutral. It has to do with equality and respecting the spirit of the Supreme Court judgment and correcting what has been highlighted. We are trying to correct the anomalies. Further anomalies were highlighted and we have tried to correct them also. This is our intention.
