Professor Don Barry:

The other two are recommendations 14 and 15. To implement them will require changes to be made to one of the university statutes. We drafted a revised statute incorporating the recommendations of the Mazars review and sent it off to our legal advisers to cast an eye over it. They advised us that the statute, as amended by us, was in conflict with the Universities Act 1997 so we are engaging with the HEA to resolve that matter or to find a way of making the changes in a manner consistent with the Act.
