The Cabinet Committee has met on one occasion. Part of the meeting involved a discussion with the Chairman of the interdepartmental working group to review that group's progress on the preparation of the Green Paper and to consider the submissions currently being received. As Chairman of the Cabinet Committee, I am in regular contact with the chairman of the interdepartmental working group about the group's work.
