It concerns the issue of the independence of the authority and references to the Minister. We have not tabled amendments, but in anything that suggests the authority is accountable to the Minister, we want to demonstrate clearly in all sections throughout the Bill that it is independent. In the spirit of what the Minister has done to date, I ask him to consider these issues before Report Stage.
