I thank the witnesses for their presentations. My questions are similar to those the Chairman asked. When was the decision made not to follow the committee's recommendations? It is clear the Department has decided not to do what was requested of it, which was to conduct a poverty review. When was that discussed? Who decided that a fuel poverty review would not occur? Who decided it would be separated out or outsourced to another body?
