Recommendation 6

However, the Committee does not think the process by which the Parliament would initiate, consider, and decide on whether a public authority would be designated has been sufficiently considered or laid out in the Bill. Therefore, we are not able to take a view on whether this power would speed up the process of designation or result in more bodies being designated. Any such process should be set out and clarified in legislation before it may be reflected in the Parliament’s Standing Orders.
