In response to an enquiry from a member of the Committee, it was explained that the minutes which were produced did not as a matter of course attribute comments to specified Committee members, but rather sought to capture the flow of the debate which led to the final resolution of the Committee. If a Committee member wished for particular comments to be attributed to them in the minutes of a meeting, then this request would be accommodated.

 

RESOLVED that: the minutes of the meeting held on 17 January 2023 be confirmed as a correct record.
