HIPs to be delayed?

It is being reported on the BBC that the introduction of the Home Improvement Packs will be delayed. DCLG Secretary, Ruth Kelly, is expected to make an annoucement... more later...

UPDATE:  The introduction of HIPs has been put back 2 months and they will now be introduced on 1st August.

Is this an admission by the Government that it was wrong all along and they realised that if they did go ahead with these stupid plans it would be a case of "I told you so" from just about every corner of the industry, press, blogosphere and political world?  More on all this tomorrow.  

Baroness Andrews is due to give a statement on HIPs in the Lords later today...
