My Amendment 203 will come up on the last day of Committee, whenever that is—I rather suspect it will not really be next week. It deals with the principle of the treatment of pre-1997 increases, whereas the amendments from the noble Lord, Lord Palmer, hinge the issue of giving a better deal to the pre-1997 pensioners on whether there is a surplus to help them. I probably support that, as very much a second best, but my point of principle, to be discussed in Amendment 203, is about people being entitled to these increases.
