Lord Davies of Gower (Con)
I think I have covered the point the noble Lord raises. I agree that three years is a long time but, in fairness, it takes time to analyse all of this. I undertake to move as fast as I possibly can on this issue.
Lord Winston (Lab)
My Lords, it has been a lot longer than three years. I raised this question at least five years ago with the Minister’s predecessor, and I got a completely anodyne answer. It reflects badly on the Government when a simple situation is called complex that really is not complex at all.
Lord Davies of Gower (Con)
I cannot answer for my predecessor. All I can say is that I am very aware of the issue and undertake to move as quickly as I can.
