I have one concern. I welcome the work of the IAA. It is hugely important and keeps us all safe and secure. I have one question about due diligence on the charges, notwithstanding the codes and the appropriate reasons for imposing them. In other words, there is no regulation on what the IAA charges, notwithstanding that the underlying reason is right and I fully support what the IAA has to do. Is there anyone to carry out due diligence on the charges, notwithstanding the fact that they are essential? I do not query the reason for them or the need for them, but how do we know if it is the right charge? Is that a fair question?
