"The review body provides an extensive range of expertise across a broad spectrum of relevant professions. Their knowledge and insight will ensure a balanced and informed consideration of all the issues," said Home Office Minister Mike O'Brien. "I look forward to receiving the review body's

The review body will begin work this spring, and will seek views from interested parties sometime later. It's expected to report back by summer 2001.
