36Review of continuing application of Commissions of Inquiry Act 1908
Not later than 5 years after the commencement of this Act, the Minister of the Crown who, under the authority of a warrant or with the authority of the Prime Minister, is for the time being responsible for the administration of this Act must ensure that a review is commenced, in relation to the entities referred to in section 38(2)(b), to consider—
- what powers each entity requires to carry out its functions and duties; and
- what changes to the law are necessary to replace any powers an entity derives from the Commissions of Inquiry Act 1908.
The purpose of the review required by this section is to consider whether the remaining provisions of the Commissions of Inquiry Act 1908 can be repealed.
