Consideration of Module 1 Report and
discussion on the Committee’s approach to scrutiny and ways
of working
The Committee considered its work plan and
scrutiny of Module 1 and agreed:
- That its regular fortnightly Committee
meeting slot would start at 2:00pm (with the flexibility to vary
the start time, if required)
- As part of its scrutiny of Module 1, the
Committee will undertake a public consultation, stakeholder
engagement event and oral evidence sessions
- To meet with the members of the Covid
Committee Observation Group
- To commission an expert panel to undertake a
gap analysis which can be used as part of an evidence base to
support the Committee’s work in scrutinising the Module 1
report
The Committee also considered the legal
briefings on the procedures of requiring witnesses to take Oaths
and Affirmations. A further paper was requested to explore the
practical implementations and consequences of asking of witnesses
taking an Oath or Affirmation.
