To be clear, it is not SUSI I am interested in. I am referring to the appeals body. I appreciate that SUSI operates within clear guidelines and does so very well. I could not take from that.

I am more interested in the appeals body than SUSI as such. I appreciate that SUSI has to operate within clear guidelines, and it does this very well. My difficulty is with the extent of latitude that SUSI might exercise if the legislation allowed it to do so. The appeals body has that latitude. I want to ensure that the spirit of the legislation is being observed in the administration of reviews.
