I support this proposal. People have waited long enough and there should not be uncertainty over getting a prompt decision. As has been said, we had reports and they were relayed to the Minister here recently. When was it we last discussed this? Was it a few weeks ago? We spoke about people having experienced significant delays in getting their personal information, so there is a problem. In locking this in, at least there will be a clear imperative and obligation on the Government to ensure people get decisions promptly and are not left waiting even longer. They have waited long enough.
