I can certainly confirm that it is our intention to abide by the judgment. We work very closely with the IMA and will continue to do so.

It is in that spirit of co-operation that the Government have determined that the appropriate method of resolving this case is to accept the present position—notwithstanding that permission to appeal was granted—to accept the judgment of the court and to make arrangements so that the scheme matches the findings of the court.
