I would like to ask the minister if he can guide us all to where recoupment is ever an issue as determined by legislation which is actually written down or whether it was just in fact a case of a court’s interpretation that was subsequently dealt with last year in the explanatory memorandum, which explicitly stated that recoupment was not to be an issue of consideration in the determination of cases. So really what the minister might be giving us is something that has already been dealt with.
