This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Planning Bill

Key roles - Ministerial intervention - Central government

208: Restriction on ministerial direction

You could also call this:

"The Minister cannot control the EPA's decisions on certain tasks."

Illustration for Planning Bill

The Minister cannot tell the EPA what to do when it comes to certain tasks. This is because of a proposed rule that would stop the Minister giving directions under section 103 of the Crown Entities Act 2004. You can think of this as a way to make sure the EPA has some independence when making decisions about certain things, like what is outlined in section 220.
