I would like to use a simple analogy before I bring in Deputy Connolly. This relates back to what all Deputies see when they are dealing with constituents. If somebody who has applied for social housing from his or her local authority does not get it and subsequently submits an appeal, good practice dictates that somebody outside the housing function, rather than somebody more senior in the housing section, should look at the appeal.

It is obvious that somebody utterly unconnected with the original decision should be looking at it. That is common sense. Mr. Gallagher has indicated.
