I understand. There is no point in the Government's initiative which I view as a number of additional set pieces to already set pieces without a proper cycle of engagement. To say that the tax strategy papers will be published at the end of July will not give the budgetary committee that is to be established enough time to scrutinise those papers and to have a proper input into the formulation of tax proposals for the Government's consideration. The committee will not meet until September to begin that work by which time it will have a logjam of information on issues that will have to be dealt with at that time.
