132: Review of agreements

You could also call this:

"Ministers must check agreements every 3 years to ensure they are fair."

Illustration for Intelligence and Security Act 2017

When you enter into an agreement, the Ministers who made the agreement must look at it again every 3 years. They must talk to the Privacy Commissioner and the Inspector-General when they do this. You can think of the Privacy Commissioner and the Inspector-General as people who help make sure the agreement is fair.

The Ministers must also think about any comments they get from the Privacy Commissioner and the Inspector-General. This means they have to consider what these people say about the agreement. The Ministers have to do this as part of their review of the agreement.
