WHEREAS as the new Minister of Stuff it is my duty to review the sections of law that relate to my office, and
WHEREAS in doing so, I found bits that would better off just being repealed, and
WHEREAS most of it was fine, but just needed a bit of spring cleaning and streamlining, and
WHEREAS LEX.D.2.10.1 is old, unused and likely never to be used therefore it just a waste of ink, and
WHEREAS LEX.D.2.10.2 is superfluous as these kind of posts can be created under the provisions of LEX.C.1.1.1 (Permanant Secretaries)
WHEREAS LEX.D.2.10.5 and LEX.D.2.10.6 and LEX.D.2.10.7 could really all just be one paragraph, and
WHEREAS the Prime Ministry and the Ministry of Stuff recognise a need for a secure and central location to hold all the various account access passwords that are out there, so
