Answer

Yes, Cabinet has authorised me to make any further related decisions needed on the detailed policy of the new Residential Property Managers Disciplinary Tribunal. Where appropriate, further decisions made under delegated authority may be included in the paper taken to the Cabinet Legislation Committee when the Bill is ready for approval for introduction. Further policy decisions are limited to the scope of delegation.
