It might be irrelevant, but it is a nice thing to say. This is not a contentious issue. A Government, which rightly tells us about the disciplines of the marketplace and the need for efficiency reserves to itself the right to delay implementation. I do not say there is a conspiracy, but the Government holds up the process and lengthens the timescale of decision, making as it fails to impose on itself the time constraints and efficiency demands it increasingly imposes on everybody else.
