Thank you very much, Helen Mary. And this, of course, is the week where we are focusing on eliminating violence against women, and we've had a statement from Julie James this afternoon. Wouldn't you say that this should be a test of Amber Rudd, the new Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, to see if she will halt and dump this iniquitous attack on women and change it so that it isn't a single household payment and that she does recognise the impact this will have on women, and particularly recognise Philip Alston's report?
