Should the Compact be supported by statutory powers?

Minister for the Third Sector Phil Hope has asked the Compact Commissioner Sir Bert Massie to lead this - see his initial comments and the Office for Third Sector news item at http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/third_sector/news/news_stories/080707_compact_review.aspx.
