Some may say that even if they are different pilots, they may draw fundamental points that would inform the principles of how these teams perform in the future. If that is the case, that would be concerning to me. There ought to be a clear model that has been tested and, if it works, we would of course all want to hear that evidence. But we have not heard it, and in such a radical change—well-intended as it is—it ought to be the case that these evaluations are published before this decision is made, rather than afterwards. The Government ought to explain before the Bill reaches the statute book how that is going to be taken into consideration, if there are enough concerns about how it might develop in the future. Well-intended though it is, I have more questions than I have agreement with the proposal as it stands.
