Ms Caroline Timmons:

That has been suggested to us and we are happy to take a deeper look at it. We are aware that the model has been used in Scotland. From a policy point of view, we have not yet done sufficient work to put it in place; however, because it is not a concept we have dealt with before, we are going to commission research on it to understand how it works in Scotland and how it might knit in with our legislation. We are happy to take the work forward and might be able to return to the committee at a later date with a little more done on that.
