2. | The Panel received the notes of the meeting between the Vice- Chairman, Deputy Lewis and Promar on 18th October 2006. The Panel was informed that the meeting had been productive, although it had not raised any unexpected new issues. It was noted that the Jersey Milk Marketing Board was not satisfied with certain elements of the report that were seen as critical of its performance. It intended to submit a rejoinder to the draft to be considered prior to the finalisation of the report. The Panel considered that it would be advantageous to hold a public hearing in the near future, notwithstanding any possible changes to the schedule of Promar and the executive after the withdrawal of P.65 and P.69/2006 due to the receipt by the Treasury of correspondence from the family of T.B. Davis in South Africa. This was provisionally to be on 2nd November 2006, with a meeting with Promar to be held on 1st November 2006. The officers were directed to- Contact the Chief Minister and the JMMB request their attendance at the Promar meeting on 1st November. Request a copy of the correspondence from the family of T.B. Davis in South Africa. If this was not available, to explore other options to obtain a copy including making preparations to contact the family directly. Arrange a meeting with the Managing Director of the Dairy and the Director of the JMMB to discuss their response to the draft Promar report. | NJF NJF NJF |
| Request a response from the Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society to the draft Promar report. Contact the Chief Minister, Connétable Fisher (as Assistant Economic Development Minister), the Managing Director of the Dairy and the Director of the JMMB to request their presence at the aforementioned public hearing. Write to all dairy farmers (through the Jersey Dairy) to inform them of the public hearing and seek submissions or attendance. Draft a list of questions to witnesses for consideration Determine from the Treasury when the projets were to be returned to the States. Request details of any schedule changes by the Executive and Promar in light of the withdrawal of P.65 and P.68/2006. Request information from the Economic Development Department as to the future funding of school milk. Inquire if any studies have been undertaken locally by the acting Medical Officer of Health or others into the effects of milk on children's development.

3. | The Panel considered a skeleton' draft of the report for layout purposes. The Panel was of the opinion that the layout would have to be carefully considered given the unique purpose of the review as consideration of work carried out by another body. |
|
4. | The Panel discussed future meeting dates, and agreed to save further planning until the Chairman had returned and preparations had been made for the hearing and meeting as detailed in Item 3, above. |
