I would ask the Minister of State to return to and examine the issue because at the moment there is a requirement that there is a code of conduct, and there is a list of issues that the code may address, but this does not necessarily include these requirements. We saw how the internal regulation and self-monitoring systems of the board failed to address the issues that arise and got into the public domain. I therefore think it is reasonable to ask that such internal mechanisms would be made more robust.
