The question of whether such a scheme should be introduced is one for discussion and agreement between the parties. To provide a basis for such discussions, my Department has been preparing a discussion document on possible elements of such a scheme. Research into the practice in other countries has been conducted. I hope to circulate the discussion document to party leaders next month.
