    What you seen is what "may" happen. Nothing is set in stone yet and no regulations have been put in place. Nothing can happen until this is done. Whether it will happen is another story. Until that time, everything continues as it is now.

    There was a consultation @smeggy, it's no longer accepting responses and we will see the results and the governments' response to the results by the end of the year. So the timetable says.

    Even then, it will be over a year before we see any results of the changes.

    Hi @worried33 as previously asked, can we try to keep new comments related to the Autumn statement on the thread provided here? 

    It's proving to be very confusing for people having so many posts going at once, especially posts that are over a week old.  Thanks.

    It's ok, I've left a few comments in other posts asking to keep it in one place.  Not a worry though if you didn't see them before.  Thank you. :)
