I accept the Minister's answer on this. I am just concerned that we do not create a situation where a research funding body is given a remit that supersedes long-established practice. I daresay most of us have benefited from the practice or have experience of interfacing with institutions like HEIs and we recognise that academic independence. I just do not want to see anything in law that would potentially compromise that.
