I hope to get the legislation through the Houses during the first half of this year and once we have the legal authority, we will move immediately to reform the Office of the Appeal Commissioners. Change is envisaged with regard to issues like the method of appointment, which was solely a ministerial function up to now, as well as the number of commissioners. The intention is to have a third appeal commissioner. I believe the heads of the Bill have already been supplied to the committee.
