Just on that point of consideration, I wonder if you can tell us whether, in examining the case for the new body to replace the language commissioner, the Government, as it says in the White Paper, needs to consider carefully how any staff might be affected and whether there will be transfers of staff. So, can you tell me whether officials have already scoped the likely cost of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981, observing changing pension and employment rights, and, specifically, the costs associated with managing individuals' data protection in line with the new regulation, and concluded that that kind of change is actually worth the money at all?
