Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
The hon. Gentleman is making a compelling case, which I hope that the Minister, his advisers and members of the Committee will take on board. He has come to the similarities between this new agency and the CSA. Does he agree that one of the problems that we found as parliamentarians when the CSA was introduced was that the Government—a Government of my party—had not anticipated the sheer volume of work that it would have? It was not just that huge volume, but that no one had expected it.
