Lastly, the real point here is that it is always presented so benignly that all that is being asked of the banks is that they do two things: use this algorithm to work out who is eligible for these particular benefits and, the second test mentioned by the Minister, see whether they fit in with the eligibility criteria for an EVM. That requires judgment—it might not be human judgment but algorithmic judgment—but the question is: what are those criteria? What will the algorithm be asked to search for?
