Does Ms McNally believe that due to the events of the past six months in particular, the usual level of scrutiny was not present and, as such, that all of the regulations brought in since 1 March, for example, should be listed in the next six months to see if there are any that need to be reviewed to ensure they do not give additional powers or procedures that are not covered by legislation? That is my real question. When there is an emergency situation, things can happen whereby not all the t's are crossed and not all the i's are dotted. Do we need to be careful in respect of such issues in this period?
