Yes. I asked two questions. How much time will this save overall? The Minister of State said the removal of the leave stage will save weeks. JRs can take a year or 18 months to two years. They are very slow, although it is to be hoped they will speed up. Is the Minister of State saying there is no assessment of how much time on average these proposed changes are likely to save? I thought that would have been one of the objectives here. Is the Department hoping to get JRs down to a year, or six or nine months? My second question sought more detail on the cost regime.
