In that context, has the Minister placed a timescale on when the consultants will report back to him? As he is conducting a review and perhaps will take action in the upcoming budget in December of this year, will the Minister give a commitment to put the consultants' reports into the public domain prior to the budget so we can all see what is involved, and the benefits, downsides and cost to taxpayers? We should all have a look at the reports in order to have a reasoned debate in the House with regard to the matter.
