It is proposed that three members, as the Minister shall determine, shall hold office for the period of three years, another three for a period of four years and another three for a period of five years. What criteria will be used to decide who sits for three or five years? Is it solely down to the discretion of the Minister who remains and who does not remain on the board? On what basis will those decisions be made? If he does not have the information today, the Minister of State can come back to me.
