That still does not address the point. Subsection (4) includes a significant power. The Government is proposing to allow the regulator, at any stage while it is carrying out its assessment of a plan - the beginning, middle or end - to have the power to temporarily suspend a plan or any element of it. My one concern is that there seems to be no real check. It would be different if it were to come at the end of the assessment.
