That is something for the Chair, Deputy Matthews, to note. Given that the issue of the local authority fees was such a live topic during the pre-legislative scrutiny phase, it would be appropriate for us to suggest to the Minister that in advance of those regulations being finalised, some engagement with the committee would be more than welcome. We have a keen interest in this issue because, unlike the board, local authorities are disadvantaged by the level of fees currently charged to applicants. If we had an opportunity to make an input into those prior to their engagement, that would be most welcome.
