My hon. Friend is making an incredibly important speech, and I just wanted to clarify something for him. The reason why we have not signed his amendment is that we had an amendment to devolve the entirety of housing benefit, which would of course take into account all those discretionary housing benefit levels. That is why we have not supported his amendment; it is purely because we have the overarching devolution amendment.
