There is precedent in other Acts but not exactly in respect of the sale of State assets. In some instances, the Minister of the day in various Departments has to come back in accordance with legislation. Specifically in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, the Minister has to come back each year in respect of a certain section of the Animal Diseases Act passed 20 to 25 years ago. I understand there is precedent in primary legislation for a Minister to come in to give a report. Perhaps the Minister would examine what kind of provision can be enshrined in the legislation.
