-----misleading and threatening. I urge the Minister to ensure that the Government moves as expeditiously as is possible and practicable with regard to the abolition of the board and the appeals board. The Minister outlined some difficulties but I do not believe they are insurmountable. I hope the final adjudication of the board will be the book Laura. I make an urgent plea to ensure it is set free, like the Minister himself, and that it will be on the shelves forever and a day as a testament to his literary genius. I ask the Government to please move quickly. That would also allow it to fulfil many of the broken promises in the manifestos on the number of quangos the parties said they would abolish as opposed to what they have abolished. Acceptance of the measure would help the Government to fulfil its broken promises.
