§ The Secretary of State for Transport (Mr. Alistair Darling)In accordance with protocols governing the review of Government Advisory Bodies, I am today announcing a review of the Commission for Integrated Transport (CfIT).
The review will examine the role of both CfIT and the Motorists Forum. It will consider the extent to which both have fulfilled their remits. It will consider the extent to which those remits remain correct and relevant in light of developments since both were established. It will consider the case for changes to the remit or working practices of either body. And, in line with established procedure, it will consider the extent to which these bodies remain relevant and necessary to the delivery of Government Policy.
40WSCharles Rice, an Executive Director of the Main Board of P&O, has been appointed to lead the review. We expect the review to be completed later this year and, subject to the nature of its findings, to institute any changes deemed necessary by the end of the year.
