I do not want to go back and forth because there has been a pretty constructive debate but that is incorrect. It is totally and utterly incorrect. It might suit to make the charge to create an issue. There is not an issue. The rates have been set independently. Dealing with inflation is built in by way of the review. I have already quoted the specific rates that are there. They are set independently of us to replace homes on a like-for-like basis to 100% redress. This is what we committed to do and it is what we have done. This is why we need to get the legislation passed. We all have a responsibility to be honest with people, not to put out misinformation and not to try to sow discontent.
