16/05/12 Item 2 513/34 | 2. Future Hearings and Meetings The Sub-Panel was advised that due to a Council of Ministers meeting now taking place on 31st May 2012, Senator P.F.C. Ozouf , Minister for Treasury and Resources and Senator A.J.H. Maclean, Minister for Economic Development were no longer available to attend a public hearing on this date. However, both Ministers were available on the morning of the 1st June and it was therefore agreed by the Sub- Panel that the public hearings would be re-arranged to take place on this alternative day. Members were also advised that the Chairman of the Tourism Development Fund (TDF) was available to attend a public hearing on 31st May and had requested to bring another Member of the TDF Panel along to appear as a witness. The Chairman's request was accepted and the Scrutiny Officer was asked to confirm this decision with the TDF Panel. It was agreed by the Sub-Panel that Members would next meet on the afternoon of Wednesday 30th May to discuss question plans. The Scrutiny Officer was requested to send an email to Members confirming dates and times of future hearings and meetings. | SM SM SM |
