Child Benefit Up-rating Order 2010

I quite understand what the Minister said about forecasts. However, I would be grateful for an answer, not necessarily now, on what statistics there are on the effects over the past two or three years on different income groups. Does he feel—it is a constant worry to me—that we have enough statistics in those areas? We have seen over the past few years that there can be sharply differing statistical effects of inflation on different groups. Will he look into that and see whether we have enough statistics, particularly when deciding on these benefit upgradings in future?
