Abstract
After introducing Martin-Lof's type theory, the paper introduces the rules proposed by various authors for adding subset types to the system, and the justification given for their addition. These justifications are examined, and it is argued that by a combination of lazy evaluation and transformation using the Axiom of Choice that subsets need not be added to the system to make it usable.
