13 require this to happen.   This will ensure that Law Commission Reports are not left languishing for years unaddressed.    42.    For major projects, the Attorney-General should take Cabinet Papers to Cabinet setting  out  the  policies  of  the  Law  Commission  after  the  first  phase  of  its consultations  and  work.    If  the  first  phase  receives  approval  from  Cabinet, drafting could proceed on instruction from the Law Commission.  Other policy analytical processes that may be required within the Government can be carried out as the Commission completes its final Report, accompanied by a draft bill.   This recommendation will prevent resources being used on projects that will not be legislatively advanced.    Use of Parliamentary Counsel Office 43.    The Government should support the efforts of Parliamentary Counsel Office to provide  a Parliamentary Counsel to draft  Law  Commission  projects  into  Bills for  introduction.    This  way  the  Government  will  have  the  assurance  that  law reform measures have been effectively thought through and are professionally drafted.  This step should improve the take-up rate of Law Commission Reports.   44.    With the greater involvement of Parliamentary Counsel Office in the drafting of the  Commission’s  proposals,  the  Govern ment  would  have  confidence  that  its legislative requirements were being met, and they would not need to be second- guessed again within the Executive Government.  If a practice of this sort were adopted as a matter of routine, it would be possible to secure a series of Law Commission   Reports   with   draft   Bills   attached   that   would   be   ready   for introduction. Timeliness of Reports 45.    No Law Commission Report should take more than five years to produce;  few should take as long as that.  One of the main criticisms made of the Commission has been the extraordinarily long period that it has taken to complete some of its references and its lack of timeliness in the production of its work.
