Conclusion (the committee's words)
We have no doubt that scrutiny by the DPRRC has a pre-emptive effect and we have noted the evidence of the Lord President that that effect has been “profound”. It cannot however be measured, and earlier chapters of this report have caused us to have some reservations about the Lord President’s assessment of the extent of the Committee’s impact.
