I appreciate the thoroughness with which the minister is addressing these issues and I congratulate her on that. I also thank her for bringing some of the senior officials of her department to do this. I appreciate that there are a couple of matters on which she will come back to me, but in relation to her answer to my first question—the first of the three questions—she said that about 12,700 beneficiaries would lose access altogether to family tax benefit part A and part B, and 61,000 would have a reduced benefit as a result. Is it possible to be more specific and say how many of those beneficiaries are part A beneficiaries and how many of them are part B beneficiaries?
