Is it a sad indictment on a Department that an agency cannot function under its remit? Why is it that for an agency to function properly it must be transferred out of a Department? Why are Departments not capable of managing agencies? The Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement has been a failed entity to date - an appallingly failed entity bordering on negligence. Leaving that aside, why is it always necessary to move an entity out of a Department for it to function properly? Are the Departments incapable of allowing entities to operate within them?
