The advice at the moment is, 'I don't think so,' in terms of putting a pre-emptive hold on the operation of that two-week period. But I should also indicate that what is commonly known as the 'blue book' would be one source of evidence that people could provide. I do not think it is an unreasonable expectation that, in most cases, people may have that, but I obviously recognise that there can be difficult circumstances in particular households.
