My concern is that my hon. Friend's proposal goes for a particular solution when there might be a broader and potentially more radical solution that should also be considered.
Yes

Do I detect a move toward yet more consultation?

As it would seem difficult enough to implement a solution that all parties to the present coalition Government are agreed on and which has already been subject to many delays and a consultation - perhaps it would be better to proceed with this NOW!

Whatever this more broader and possibly more radical solution may be, the idea of yet more delay with the possible outcome that it may be considered too broad and too radical, is not one to be risked.

Implement what has been agreed and then a move towards a broader and more radical solution can be given whatever time that such a solution may need. Whatever this solution might be?
