6 Annual Report reflect the supportive approach taken by both governments in power during this period. After the election in November, the Commission’s work programme continued apace with some realignment to meet the priorities of our new Minister. The Law Commission’s continuing high performance in 2008/09 rests on the shoulders of our hard working, enthusiastic and very able legal and policy advisers and Commissioners. The achievements I have highlighted are pulled from a backdrop of very solid work on 23 major projects plus substantial advisory work over the year. This is a very full work programme, and there is no shortage of topics for our attention in the future.
