They were. I cannot understand the part of this section which states "(including barristers and solicitors)" regarding the advice and assistance people can get and which the chairperson of the commission can get also. Section 8(1)(a) states that persons can be appointed "with relevant qualifications and experience (including barristers and solicitors) to advise or assist the commission in relation to any matter within its terms of reference". Why was that included in the Bill?
