Digital Hub Development Agency Bill, 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

As I said earlier, I believe this is another one of these phrases to which the Parliamentary Counsel has taken a shine and which is now inserted into legislation connected with the Committee of Public Accounts. One could see this –I do not say this about the current Minister – as a response to the vigorous role the Committee of Public Accounts played with various Government agencies in making life difficult for them and asking difficult questions. One could see it as an attempt to clip the wings of the Committee of Public Accounts. I do not believe that is the Minister's intention but it would be the result of the proposal.
