They aren't going to allow the opposition to turn the election into a referendum on one very small part of their planned programme for the next five years. Those details will not be forthcoming, no matter how many times they are asked.

I agree, they won't be divulging this information until after the General Election and then only if they win.
I think that for the majority of the electorate, the bigger picture means little to them. Political ideology takes second place to the important things that affect people personally.
New local councillors soon find that the electorate are far more concerned about their bins not being emptied than some declaration of support for a far away country fighting an oppressive regime.
This is why I think it's unwise of them to now start chipping away at "middle class" benefits as the middle classes are now suffering too and they are a very important part of the population vote wise:

I'm please to see this as it was a concern of mine:
