General Scheme of Public Sector Standards Bill 2015: Pre-legislative Scrutiny

2:00 pm

Mr. William Beausang:

All of those would be captured by the draft provision relating to a body which is wholly or partly funded. We would have used a similar type of definition in the Freedom of Information Act, for example. That has proved successful in bringing those bodies in under FOI, so we would expect it to work in this instance. It would be a big gap in the legislation if they were not covered, so that would be a priority for us.
