As the Member will know, I introduced that when I was Minister of Finance. It sits at 10%, with the intent to move it to 20% in due course. From conversations with the current Minister of Finance, I understand that she is looking very closely at that. We want to ensure that the sector is ready to engage with that increase in business opportunities. Bodies such as the social enterprise co-design group are looking at strengthening the commercial side of social enterprises — their boards and leadership — so that they are much fitter to engage with the opportunities that will arise from a higher level of social value and procurement. I am sure that the Minister of Finance will be able to give the Member a time frame for that. I know that she is looking at it very seriously.
