Financial Assistance Scheme (Modifications and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2005

My Lords, I thank the Minister for giving way. He mentioned the question of the amount under the scheme being reviewed in the next public spending round. My honourable friend Danny Alexander, whose constituency’s name I will not attempt to repeat at this time of night as it would detain us, mentioned a fair point in the Commons. As the public spending round was now being put off for review from 2007 to 2008, that is effectively a year’s wait for people. He did not get a proper answer. Now that one has had a few days to consider it, will the Minister undertake to raise with the Chancellor of the Exchequer the fact that those who suffer under the FAS should not have to wait an extra year for it to be reviewed, just because the public spending review has been put off?
