What the Minister of State is saying is interesting, which is that, on the advice of his officials, section 28 would permit the registration body to remove somebody from the register if, for example, it could be proven in a complaint that he or she was responsible for egregious breaches of building controls.

People will look back at this exchange to see whether this provides the relief he is talking about or not. I ask him to be clear and to explain exactly where, in section 28, he believes that power rests because I want that on the record. If he is correct, that is potentially a positive. I want it on the record because if I am correct and it would not be possible, this would be the point at which that argument will allow for it to be tested into the future.
