-----as opposed to a temporary arrangement.

I would hate to think that a person who set out to employ someone in a public sector agency tomorrow would decide to pick whosoever he or she wished for the first three years and to have a look at the market thereafter. This does not represent good governance and seriously dents the legislation's credibility. These particular issues with the staffing, the directors and so on, are the thread between many of the amendments. They seriously affect the credibility of what without them would have been good but which with such issues is extremely weak. Therefore, I again must press the amendment.
