A number of noble Lords, including the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Sheffield—I will stop naming noble Lords; it is invidious and I will get them wrong—have said “Don’t do it now” or “Don’t do it this quickly”. The speed issue was also raised in the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee. Delaying the policy for another year or until later is, unfortunately, simply not an option. We are trying to save money to plug the hole in this financial year, and we are already half way through it.
