If they knew it wasn't going to work, why ask for it at the first place. Red herring? Ask for something big to trade for something smaller? Drama for the bored?
I think it may be a case of the blind attempting to lead the visually capable. I think most uk politicians have ZERO technical knowledge required to make such a decision without advice of Industry professionals.
Think Gaetz & Marjorie Taylor Greene. That's pretty much our entire government now all the sensible people have been drummed out.
Don't let logic or facts get in the way of a good grandstanding.
They didnt know it wasn't going to work because they refuaed to listen to anyone trying to tell them it wouldn't work
