The capital assets test implementation group report will go to Cabinet in the coming weeks. Due to timetabling issues I cannot be more specific about a date at this time.

The Deputy will understand that I am not in a position to provide details of the contents of the report until I have completed my own consideration of those details and discussed them with my Cabinet colleagues. I can say, however, that no decision has been taken on the treatment of farm or other business assets or on the setting of a limit on the value of assets that may be included in any new means-testing arrangements. Any such decision will be a collective Cabinet decision requiring legislative change.
