What, a bit like EH but with expanded powers to control archaeological work on all archaeological sites? I actually prefer working on Scheduled jobs, you know exactly where you stand legally, quality, no getting f**ked over by stroppy or 'ignorant' (ie can't be bothered to read their contract) contractors etc and (without demeaning overworked CC curators) I welcome the regular monitoring that always seems to come with them, often weekly, keeps 'deviations' by the client/contractors at bay if nothing else - have just had a nightmare day dealing with one of those....would never have happened if the site was Scheduled.....
