I am advised, in relation to the figures I have in front of me, that there is only a slight increase. Under the current framework, the number of penalties applied in 2016-17 was 187,526. The targeted compliance framework penalties applied—estimates only, obviously—in 2018-19 will be 190,478, so that is a slight increase.
