Chairperson's Foreword

Back to Table of Contents]

I am pleased to introduce the Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee’s Annual Review covering the calendar year 2004.

In brief the functions of the Committee are to review all bills introduced into Parliament, to review regulations, to review and report on redundant or unclear Acts and to undertake specific inquiries referred to the Committee either by the Parliament or by a Minister.

The Committee has been fortunate to have a dedicated and professional secretariat staff and I take this opportunity to thank our Senior Legal Adviser, Andrew Homer for effectively leading our team during 2004. The Committee is also indebted to Ms Helen Mason for her experienced guidance in the scrutiny of regulations and Simon Dinsbergs and Sonya Caruana for their efficient management and administrative support during the year.
