The final question from the noble Lord, Lord Moynihan, was particularly about the measure on RO levies to the Treasury. I understand that that will mean a reduction in bills of about £30 to £40. I emphasise that that is a reduction in the bills that would otherwise be there; it does not necessarily mean the bills going down completely. That change is intended to be permanent, but the legislation does not permit that; it permits a sunset clause to be extended to a further sunset clause. In theory, it will be necessary in, say, 2030, to introduce a measure that makes this permanent, but we have a few years to sort that out before this sunset clause finally gives way.
