Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies on Friday somewhat backed down, announcing a task team to spend 30 days reconsidering. It is clear what decisions they should arrive at.

Rob didn't back down. He's made up his mind. The task team is a farce, it's not going to check that data. Just look at the revised codes, no sane business would agree to those. I'm willing to bet that a large number of the 550 comments that Rob received rejected his codes. He went ahead and published what he wanted.
Also note paragraph 3.1.11 of statement 003 (Sector Charters). This says that a charter is immediately binding on the date it is published - no lead-in period. In other words, the draft is the final document and comments do not apply
