Minutes

Members will notice that the minutes of the previous meeting are published at the back of the paper that was issued for today. The clerk tells me that it is not a requirement that they should be published, but that it has been suggested that it would be appropriate to include them so that anyone wishing to comment on them can do so.

I have no wish to be awkward, but I would like it to be recorded that I did not know that the meeting was happening, rather than have it appear that I did not turn up.

We will look into methods of communication. The next scheduled meeting is on 21 September, when we will examine the problems associated with the current ban on shellfish fishing because of amnesic shellfish poisoning.

Are there any other comments relevant to this meeting? Not any other competent business, you understand. [Laughter.] It was quite an achievement to do everything that we have done in three hours and 11 minutes. Thank you.

Meeting closed at 17:11.
