§ Mr. Bob AinsworthThe EU Committee for the implementation of the incentive, exchange, training and co-operation programme for the prevention of crime (Hippokrates) does not have a fixed membership, but consists of delegates drawn from each of the 15 European Union member states. The UK representatives in 2002 were: Mr. Paul Ekblom (Grade 7), Research Development and Statistics, Mr. Darren Grubb (Executive Officer), Policing Organised Crime Unit and Miss Sue Garrod (Executive Officer), European and International Unit. The Committee met once in 2002, on 23 July, to discuss the bids which had been received and to agree the allocation of funds to successful projects. The Committee will not meet in future as the Hippokrates funding programme, along with four other Justice and Home Affairs funding programmes (Grotius II, Stop II, Oisin and Falcone), has been superseded by the framework programme on police and judicial co-operation in criminal matters (AGIS). The decisions made by the Committee were not communicated directly to the House as information about the Hippokrates programme is already publicly available.
