This contrasts with the start of his Statement, that they have waited far too long. Unfortunately, this is making the affected a new, second-class group of victims; they will now have to wait at least until March to see the detail of that regulation, and then probably up to the end of 2025 before realistic payments start to come through. Why this long delay? Why have the Government not engaged with the affected since this happened to explain why there are delays, and will the Minister give them cast-iron assurances that they will not be further delayed than the statement that he has just made about them being paid fairly early next year?
