I accept that. However, the IAA remit includes civil aviation safety regulation, aviation security regulation and inspection and air traffic management, which is a fairly wide remit and a very onerous set of functions. Given that, surely we as parliamentarians, independent of Government, should have a more substantial role in vetting people to be board members or chairpersons. Let me add that I am not talking about any particular individual, but a person designate.
