A steering group in my Department is dealing with this. I guarantee that, when I go back today, I will ensure this group gets the report to me immediately. As soon as I get the report, I want to publish it. I guarantee that it will be published. The Deputy is right that this has gone on too long so I will start to put the pressure on now to make sure it is published. I want to make sure the steering group gets it right. This is a new Department. We have done a lot of reviews of schemes in the past 18 months and that all takes time. The Department is working very hard and I compliment my officials. The steering group is independent of me but I want it to produce a robust report. I give the Deputy a guarantee that I will have it ready for July.
