Stewart, Deputy commissioner, for their time and attention to a draft of this
issues paper, and for their very helpful comments. We also appreciate the
useful comments from Sarah Kerkin, Senior Adviser, Policy and law, of the
Ministry of Justice.
We thank our peer reviewer, Professor Paul Roth, and John Edwards and
Wayne Wilson, for their reviews of a draft of this paper, which has benefited
from their comments.
We are grateful to all those individuals and agencies who have written to us or
met with us to discuss the issues involved in this reference.
Finally, we thank all those agencies who are holders of public registers and
who took the time and trouble to respond to a law commission questionnaire
of March 2007. their responses provided us with a clear picture of their
registers, their uses and some concerns, and have informed our discussion in
this paper. they are:
