How many more U-turns and delays on policy can the government get away with? So far this year we've had U-turns on the inclusion of residential property in Sipps and on changes to the filing date for self-assessment forms, a partial U-turn on the treatment of trusts families use to protect money that will eventually go to their children, and a delay in the introduction of the tenants' deposit protection scheme.
Latest in the list is home information packs (Hips). The one part of the scheme that was going to improve matters for buyers and sellers cannot, apparently, be achieved by the date set by the government, even though it has been working toward their introduction for years.
