My Lords, we all understand that. Indeed, the noble Lord, Lord Oakeshott, said clearly that he understood the intention, but that it was an aspiration. There is no guarantee or even suspicion that this will work as the Government intend.
Right at the end of his speech, the Minister said that he noted the calls for a review. Does it go any further than that? There have been so many calls for a review of the deductions scheme that I think that the time has come for the Government to take a serious look at it. I am not talking about the Government as a whole; I am talking about the DWP and emphatically not the Treasury. I beg leave to withdraw the Motion.
Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
