Thank you, Mr. Benton.
I simply seek guidance on whether there are likely to be any new areas of initiative taken by the new agency. If so, what is the thinking behind that and what are the resource implications? I understand, from our debates on Tuesday on an earlier clause, that the agency will be able to recover reasonable costs by levying charges for providing information or research. It would help to know whether that is likely to involve any expansion of the agency’s activity and, if so, in which areas.
