I was not going to press amendment No. 40 in light of the fact that it seems to have been overtaken by previous amendments, but I will contribute on this one. Someone who has been appointed for three years has been vetted by the PAS, which believes he or she is good enough. Unless something remarkable happens to that person during the three years served on the commission, it is probably unlikely that we could say that he or she has not been suitably approved by the PAS. Must that person have to go through the whole process again?
