The Deputy will be aware that the ELG Scheme issuance period for eligible liabilities ended at midnight on 28 March, 2013. However, eligible liabilities covered under the scheme which were incurred up to that time continue to be covered up to their maturity date which could be up to five years maximum from the date the liability was incurred. This means that covered liabilities will wind down over the period 28 March, 2013 to 27 March, 2018 at the latest.
