Committee Membership

The Council has established a number of Standing Committees in order to deal effectively with a wide ranging programme of work. Every Council Member serves on at least one committee. At present the Committee structure is as outlined below, although it is envisaged that once the registration process has begun it will be necessary to convene a committee to look at operational aspects of regulation.
