I am sure people will appreciate quick answers. By way of example, I was recently speaking to someone who had their bills estimated. At the end, therefore, because no one obviously went out during Covid-19, when it was possible to submit a reading, the resulting charge came as one bill rather than a whole series. This made it very difficult for this person to engage with the forms. The 121 pages do not help in this regard. Many companies are looking at this and thinking that if they have to go and get an accountant that they will be spending money they do not have to potentially get money they need but potentially may not be in a position to get. I appreciate that this work is being done on this scheme but I emphasise that the quicker this information gets out and the decisions made the better. Regarding what can be done, immediate feedback regarding the practicalities, I am sure, concerns whether tweaks can be made. I respect the fact that primary legislation is a different kettle of fish, but whatever can be done in the intervening time should be.

I will ask one more question, if that is okay.
