It would definitely be preferable if it was in the legislation because it is so important to the process. The phrase “shall have regard to” does not necessarily cover that level of practice. Obviously the work is being done internally and the submissions will be considered. However, it would be an improvement if the legislation recognised the need for feedback to be given out and made public.
