I can well understand why, having bowled the Minister some tricky and technical questions, the way in which I posed the last one may have slipped his mind. I do not disagree with him. I accept that there should be adjustment. However, the simple reference to a change is inadequate. The way in which it is taken into account and method used to calculate inflation should be in the Bill. I did not disagree with the principle, but said that the Bill was insufficiently clear to achieve the Minister's intention.
