Matters which might have been raised in representations made during that period can instead be raised on appeal where a negative recommendation is made. The provision as worded does not prevent the commissioner from considering matters raised by representations made in the interval between the conduct of an interview and the making of the recommendation. In fact, representations made after the interview are made in only very few cases. However, I see little merit in delaying the progress of every case for almost two weeks in circumstances where the provision is little used and where the right of appeal in any event more than satisfies the requirements of fair procedure.
