What I have stated is that during the nine and a half years of work on the Moriarty report, many issues came to light that required legislative change and they have already been legislated for during the course of the tribunal. It is probably true to say that a lot directly related to its work. I am not aware of any further legislative issue but changes were made over the years to Finance Bills, the Standards in Public Office Act 2001 was enacted and amendments were made to the Electoral Acts and the Ethics in Public Office Act 1995 during the course of the tribunal's work. If there is any other one on which action was not taken, I am sure it will be addressed by various Ministers when they and their officials examine the full report.
