It says: 'Urgent legislation to enable the implementation of the scheme will be introduced in Parliament in October. This will provide government with the powers to establish the scheme, ensure benefits are passed on to consumers and provide for an effective compliance...' 5/
'... and enforcement regime.' Am I missing something? There's no detail on what this will cost or how it will be funded, and no detail on what the legislation will say. 6/6
