It is legitimate to debate this concern, but does my right hon. Friend agree that this is ultimately a low-cost loan? As he and the shadow Minister have already said, deferred payments have been around for quite some time, albeit not widely available in reality. Is my right hon.

We might expect that assertion to have been made by now were it a genuine and legitimate fear.
