I refer to the answer I gave a moment ago. We are actively looking at this and we hope to bring forward proposals in the coming days.
Bill Esterson (Sefton Central) (Lab)
The way around the problem that the Minister, and the Chancellor before him, identified of giving money to people who do not need it was given to him by the right hon. Member for Kingston and Surbiton (Sir Edward Davey). The money can be recovered later. Do not let that concern about a handful of people get in the way of putting the scheme in place and deny desperate people, who cannot put food on the table, money they need right now.
