Yes, the queen of the "may". The reason I have to do that is that the commission is not obliged to make a recommendation if it does not consider anybody as suitable. Therefore, it could advise the Government that in a particular case it is not in a position to make a recommendation. It is not automatic there will always be a recommendation and the Bill deals with a situation where the commission is unable to make a recommendation and what happens as a consequence of that.
