I move amendment No. 16:

In page 16, to delete lines 11 to 23.

The point of these amendments is to remove the power of the Minister to add bodies to the list of exempt public bodies. I hope I am wrong, but my reading of the legislation is that once the line Minister has agreed that the Minister can add whatever public body he or she wants to add to the list of exempt bodies, there is no compulsory parliamentary and commissioner oversight. Is that a correct reading of the legislation? If it is, I do not think that is healthy.
