Section 9 provides for the Minister to commission a review from the body which can make recommendations. Section 10 allows the body to do the same, but only with the permission and consent of the Minister. Does Professor MacCraith believe the oversight body should be able to commission reviews of its own volition without sign-off by the Minister? With all that the body is learning this might be important.
