Mrs. Brooke: I thank the Minister for her earlier assurance that she and the Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions will monitor the case that I have outlined in great detail. Is it possible for her to put a time commitment on when we might expect feedback? She may well appreciate that, given the time that the case has been going on for, I am anxious to establish whether we might hear something in a month, two months, three months or whatever.

Jane Kennedy: I will look at the case in detail, and seven pages of its chronology have been provided as briefing for the debate. At this point it would clearly be wrong of me to give a commitment that I may fail to keep, but I will make sure that we get a response to the hon. Lady as quickly as is practicably possible.

Question put and agreed to.

Adjourned accordingly at seventeen minutes to Eight o'clock.
