Draft Committee Programme for 2000
The Committee met to discuss the draft programme for 2000. The Chair asked if any members had concerns over the draft. Two concerns were raised. First, that the meeting of Friday, 17 March 2000 would have to be rescheduled due to it being a constituency week, and secondly that the workshop hosted by the committee scheduled for Friday, 7 April 2000 should precede the study tour of the Provinces. The Chair asked that all suggested changes should be in writing and submitted to the committee clerk. The Committee adopted the draft programme.
