Senator Perchard – RUDL charge Senator Shenton – Distribution and attribution Deputy Southern – Anti-avoidance Senator Perchard and Deputy Southern arranged to meet with Richard Teather at 2.30pm on Tuesday 11th July to discuss the Panels questions in more detail. Officer requested to prepare a draft question plan based on the above three topics in advance of this meeting. The Sub Panel noted that as a result of section 5.4 of the Draft Code of Practice for Scrutiny Panels and PAC, Richard Teather and Brian Curtis would be unable to ask witnesses questions at Public Hearings as they were not Panel members and were therefore not covered by immunity. The Sub Panel agreed that this would cause problems in Public Hearings for this review, as given the technicality of the subject matter, it may become necessary for advisers to ask witnesses questions to clarify certain | SP |
issues. The Sub Panel therefore agreed that subject to the
advisers agreement, section 5.4 of the Draft Code of Practice
would be suspended for this review. However it was also agreed
that it would not be appropriate for States members appearing
before the Panel to be questioned by expert advisers, and SP therefore in these circumstances it would only be Panel members
asking questions. It was agreed that this decision needed to be
brought to the attention of the Chairmen's Committee before the
Public Hearing on Thursday 13th July 2006.

on the 1st or the 2nd of August 2006.
