My Lords, I am not going down that speculative route for the reasons that I have already given. I certainly accept, as my right honourable friend the Prime Minister said in another place, that some major issues around the structure, policy and operations of the CSA warrant the most serious consideration. I pay tribute to the Select Committee, chaired by the noble Lord, Lord Kirkwood, which made interesting proposals for CSA reform. We have responded, but we are taking into account its recommendations in relation to the current review.
