Is there any other example the Minister of State can give where the Government or Minister has divested that power of sale to other public bodies? Local authorities can determine whether they sell publicly-owned land through the democratic process with publicly-elected county councillors. I seek examples of other public bodies. We have hospitals and all sorts of entities that own land. Do others have this power or would it be unique to MARA?
