While we seem to be making changes to the EII scheme every year, there were significant changes to the EII scheme in last year's Finance Bill, not in terms of its rates, but in terms of the process, the application and streamlining in general. This followed quite a bit of criticism, it is fair to say, from some companies and sectors in regard to delays, documentation, getting approval and so on. Now that has been up and running for a year, has there been an assessment of whether all of those issues have been ironed out so we are not seeing companies waiting 12 or 14 months or experiencing the challenges they were reporting?
