The Minister should also quote the conclusion of that report, which clearly states: "This suggests that the scheme did not fulfil its original aims in an efficient manner as the scheme supported a significant number of transactions that would have taken place without the scheme."

We could argue about such issues for forever and a day, but this scheme has not fulfilled its objective and I am, therefore, pressing this to a vote.
