1. Report

The  Sub-Panel  considered  draft  heads  of  report.   The  Sub-Panel identified matters that it would seek to address in the report and it agreed the drafting would commence.

The Sub-Panel considered the reports due to be received from each Scrutiny Panel. It was agreed that the reports would be distributed to the relevant Executive Departments in order that the factual accuracy of the reports could be checked. Consideration was also given to whether the reports would be presented as an addendum to the Sub-Panel's own report or whether the reports would be presented ahead of presentation of the Sub-Panel's report. It was noted that the Chairmen's Committee had already considered this matter and agreed that the reports would be presented alongside the Sub-Panel's one. The Sub-Panel agreed that the Committee should be asked to reconsider the matter.

The Sub-Panel considered the timetable for presentation of its report and noted  that  the  intention  remained  for  presentation  to  occur  on  19th October  2012. It  was  agreed,  however,  that  the  briefing  to  States Members would be moved to 23rd October 2012 in order that the expert advisors could be present.
