How does household income affect what benefits are returned to the consumer by government payment or tax deduction? Is that what you are saying comes under the family allowances? Just going on what I had explained to me yesterday by Mr Macfarlane, he was saying that household income would determine those levels of changes. The question I ask is: is it a total of everyone in that household working—for example, if the parents are working and one of the children is working? Is that how it works?
