The committee undertook a scrutiny, policy development and consultation role with respect to the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure and played a key role in the consideration and development of legislation.http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/culture/2007mandate/culturehome_07.htm Northern Ireland Assembly
