6.1.8 The Committee had little success in receiving formal responses to recommendations contained in reports adopted by the National Assembly (NA). The Committee Secretary, as the co-ordinator of the Committee's activities and the official person responsible for maintaining a reliable and up to date commitment register and Committee records, should establish a sound working relationship with the relevant officials in the Office of the Speaker as well as the relevant Parliamentary Liaison Officers, aimed at improving mechanisms whereby responses to recommendations may be monitored followed-up on.
