I have seen the recommendations. Will they have that level of detail in the public domain that will then allow for that? One of the functions of this committee is to have a role in tracking. For example, if the witnesses are to say that X,Y and Z local authorities need to put more emphasis or resources into the franchise section and if they do not do that our committee will have a very important role in tracking that. Maybe they do not have the staff and we have to then go to the Department and the Minister and hold them to account. Or maybe a chief executive is not prioritising. The more explicit the information into the public domain the better is the role we can play constructively in ensuring compliance with those recommendations.
