Moving on to Clause 115, on recovery of costs—again, because of the timing of this Bill, we have ended up jumping around somewhat—I turn to my Amendment 272J. There have been different views on this, but I think that it could be worth while. It is not absolutely set in stone, but if the Secretary of State having done this, the award is given to the worker, who will receive the award as well as perhaps costs, there is a risk that the costs incurred by the Government could be higher than the award given. I appreciate that the regulations provided for here may tidy that up to say, “There’s no way we can go after the person”, but it brings in this whole aspect of debt.
