While I welcome the idea of a report, there have been a litany of reports and we are probably trying to reinvent the wheel. The Millar report is damning of the policy on lone parents. If there is an independent report, who will commission it and will the Minister act on the findings? Had he acted on the Millar report, which would have cost a lot of money, the policy on lone parents would have been rolled back. It is important who commissions the report. We do not want to produce a report for the sake of it.
