12 fault is not only the Commission’s.  There  have been serious faults at various points in the relationship with the Department of Justice and the new Ministry of  Justice.    But  the  net  effect  of  these  poor  relationships  has  been  that  the Commission  has  been  less  effective  than  it  could  have  been.    This  factor  has contributed  to  the  low  rate  of  enactment  of  its  proposals.    The  Commission needs   to   work   harder   at   developing   its   relationship   with   the   Executive Government.    36.    Law-making  depends  on  teamwork.    The  Law  Commission  should  work  in partnership  with  Departments  of  State  as  it  has  done  with  the  Ministry  for Economic Development on e-Commerce and Insolvency.   37.    Where  the  Law  Commission  is  working  on  a  reference,  better  co-ordination could be achieved if there was a single official within the lead agency who was designated to be the liaison point. 38.    On  some  projects  it  may  be  better  for  the  Law  Commission  to  voluntarily surrender  some  of  its  independence  and  work  in  partnership  with  a  policy Department to fashion proposals for legislative change.    39.    The   Law   Commission   should   plan   to   provide   support   for   its   legislative proposals throughout the parliamentary process.
