. Members were concerned that the National Advisory Council on Innovation (NACI) was not listed as one of the entities who submitted a strategic plan, nor had there been an annual report tabled for the 2010/11 year. Though the Department explained that the entity was incorporated within their Programme 1, Members maintained that they could not follow the activities of that entity. They cautioned that all entities established by law were obliged to report to Parliament. Failure to do so at a specific time, required proper procedures and correspondence explaining non-compliance. Correspondence to that effect should be directed to the Speaker of Parliament, so that the relevant Committees are kept informed.
