The Ministers and Secretaries Act is something this committee is interested in. We are having a paper prepared on it by the Library and Research Service of the Houses. We have asked for some guidance and information from Mr. Moloney's Department. That would come under its area of remit. We want to take that Act and other amending Acts down through the years to get an understanding of how the legislation operates and what changes to the accountability element might or should be made. We want to understand the current arrangement and see if we can we suggest any better ways of doing business and making individuals accountable. Has Mr. Moloney’s Department done any work on that in the past?
