The Minister is grateful for the input of the Appointments Commission, which is fully supportive of these re-appointments and, due to the infrequency of the Rate Appeal Board meetings and the need to maintain experience within the Board, agreed an exception to its principle by allowing former members to exceed the normal 10 year limit to such appointments. However, it is noted that the Commission stated that these appointments should be for maximum of 3 years and not extendable beyond this period.
