It is not really a final question. Under heads 11 and 29, the Minister has a role in giving direction to the new statutory body. Do the witnesses have any concerns that a politician or Minister could come under public pressure to disown some form of research because the individual at the centre who is being researched may be unpopular? There could be a campaign against him or her.
