I am told that the next round of payments, up to 65%, will be in February. I will check if there is a legislative gap and if that is the case, I will come back to the Deputy on that. If it is a legislative issue, it will probably be difficult enough to resolve because as the Deputy knows, the insurance Bill is awaiting pre-legislative scrutiny. If it is not a legislative gap but something that could be done, I will consider it. If the term is every six months, we may be able to reduce it to every three months. However, I cannot commit to that until I determine whether it can be done. If it can be done, I will certainly try to do it.
