§ Mr. John BercowTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will list(a) the names, titles and grades of the officials who sit on the EU advisory committee on the development and reconversion of regions, (b) the number of times, and the dates, on which it has met since January 2002, (c) the agenda items it has considered since January 2002, (d) the decisions it has made since January 2002 and (e) the means used to communicate the decisions to the House. [110285]
§ Ms HewittI have been asked to reply.
The Committee is chaired by DG REGIO—the Directorate General for the regions. All of its activities are a matter of record with all the information sought in (a) to (d) available on the Commission's website.
As the CDCR is an advisory committee there is no requirement to communicate any decisions directly to the House.
The Committee has met nine times since the answer I gave to the House on 4 July 2002. Its structure and remit are unchanged.
