Answer
We are in the process of considering a draft Memorandum of Understanding between our Department and the Sustainable Development Commission (SDC). In doing so, we are looking at this in relation to the proposed status change of the SDC from an Advisory to an Executive Non-Departmental Public Body, and any implications that this change may have in terms of governance, legal or financial issues.
