neutral  B D Finch: That is another meaning of "remit", but not what is meant by a "statutory remit". The Charity Commission's remit is very definitely laid down in statute law.
6 mins
  -> For there to be "operational independence", it has to be open and accountable and by another process not by its own doing, Ie; an assigned Government body imposing strict rules and regulations, which are enforceable, but not necessarily law.

neutral  Gary D: your answer is the same as mine, but you say it has to be law, Statuary can be either law or a signed form committing certian criteria which may not be law enforciable, per se, unless challenged by either party, in ambinunity
16 mins
  -> No, our answers are quite different. Statuary is what you find in a cemetery, or a garden centre; but a statutory remit is generally understood as involving statute law, not just the statutes of the organisation in question. "Ambinunity"??
