An apology for inability to attend has been received from Deputy Staunton.
We are honoured this afternoon by the distinguished presence of the Ambassador for Greece who is taking an interest in the structure and the work of this Committee and has come to see us in operation. I know that on behalf of us all I may express a very sincere welcome to the Ambassador and I hope that he will find our proceedings interesting and perhaps instructive.
The Joint Committee last met on Wednesday, 23rd February. The minutes of that meeting have been circulated to you and, subject to your approval, I shall sign them.
