I turn to the regulations we are debating. Since August, we have further developed the details of the scheme. These regulations consolidate the 2024 regulations and extend the scheme to include people who are affected by the scandal. Those affected include the loved ones of people who are infected, defined in these regulations as partners, parents, children, siblings and, in some instances, carers. This is important progress towards making payments to the families of people impacted by the scandal, and I am sure that IBCA will begin making payments to people who are affected by the end of this year.
