It is not possible to set a limit at this stage when people have been paying in over their working lives, albeit at a higher rate. They were paying in at a higher rate because they were on a higher salary and have an expectation of a higher benefit. I do not believe it is possible to turn around at this late stage of a person's contributions and cap that.
