Future consultations
The Executive Committee would respond to generic reports/documents but reports dealing
with discrete curricular areas would be too many for the committee' response. It was
essential that the Committee had time to respond and so the decision was taken that in
future a small group would respond, on behalf of the committee, to consultations.
The Committee expressed thanks to sub-groups which had produced draft
responses.
