They're not going to bother putting the legislation through before next
November. Then they'll have about a 5 year public enquiry, if past
things are anything to go by.

Which means that the current Labour government will bemoan the future
Tory one for not delivering something which they only just started
before leaving office and then, probably, failed to fund adequately and
grossly underestimated the cost of!
