I propose to take Questions Nos. 106 and 107 together.
The National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO) is the only Body under my Department to which the Code of Practice for the Governance of State bodies applies.
The NESDO is currently reviewing and updating its Policy and Procedures Guidelines, which contain, inter alia, the detailed governance instructions and guidelines for the office, in the light of both the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies and other legislative requirements that have been adopted since the document was last reviewed.
The revised document will include all monitoring arrangements required to ensure that the code is properly implemented by the NESDO. It is planned that the revised document will be submitted to the NESDO Board for formal adoption within the next few weeks.
