It is a legal requirement to opt in by the end of June. There has been no official meeting with the commission and we are none the wiser ourselves as to how different the final scheme will be from the interim scheme. The clock is ticking on this. I do not want to put words in the mouth of Ms Logan but I believe she is saying that unless the final scheme is dramatically different from what we have in terms of the barriers, the Government will be leaving itself open to legal challenges. Is that accurate?
