Over the summer we will look at it all fully, where we feel journalists should or should not have access.
One of the changes I have brought in is that if members are going to be absent for two weeks they will need to notify the Presiding Officer with a reason so people aren't just working remotely week after week.
I think the action taken was appropriate, given the circumstances that were brought our attention.
