Another question on my list was raised by the noble Baroness, Lady Grender, and I will reinforce it. The Minister said that, in the consultation, airlines said that they would like to have a greater alleviation than 10% but this was rejected by the department because they offered no evidence to support it. But what was the evidence on which the Government settled on 10%? Will they publish it? Presumably, they had the evidence to justify 10%, and we know that those asking for 15%, 20% or whatever it was did not. But what constitutes the evidence that would fit that box? What was the Government’s evidence? I think that is one of the things that the noble Baroness was trying to get at, so may we see that evidence?
