There was some discussion about this. The government was of a different view, as I understand it, and now has changed that view. There is nothing untoward about that; it demonstrates an ability to assess the situation and keep it under assessment. I understand that it was raised during the consultation period and thought not necessary, but on review we believe it is and it is agreed.
