That covers the chairman and gives the Minister the power to devolve. It is not the intention and if that was set out in the legislation, we could look at it but as I understand it, it was never the intention of the Minister to appoint individual adjudicators, it is simply to appoint the chair, who will then appoint adjudicators. That subsection gives the devolving power to the Minister to appoint the chairmen. If the Deputy thinks we should look at this again, I will do so.
