General Scheme of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2021: Discussion

The heads of the Bill, from 49 onwards, basically deal with issues of creating the strategic plan and the service plan. How much input will the new board have in respect of that? It seems from my reading of it that a lot of it is the Commissioner's job to produce the plan. Heads 53 and 54 state the Minister can direct the Commissioner to amend the plan. Where is the role for oversight bodies in respect of that? Perhaps the Commissioner has a view on that.
