I also wish to ask about a point that has been mentioned by my two colleagues on the proposed board. Has the Minister read the dissenting remarks made by two members of the commission? It is reported that they said in their view it does not offer the best prospects of achieving the goal of unambiguous independent, empowered and transparent accountability. It was said that they believe that external accountability should be developed and matured through the structure of the Policing Authority. What are the Minister's views on what they had to say?
