The support teams within each area of the Secretariat are responsible
for organising Committee meetings. After establishing the Chair's
availability, the support team will ring round Departments to secure
the best time for the optimum number of Committee members. Details of
meetings arranged by EDS or EGIS are confirmed by way of a meeting
notice on CabCom (see Cabcom, Cabinet Documents Officers and Distribution of
Committee Papers and Minutes),
but a member of the support team will always ring round private offices
the day before the Committee to confirm final attendance.
Because of the pressures on Ministers' time, Committee meetings are
extremely difficult to organise and usually require at least 3 weeks
advance notice to set up. Departments need to bear this in mind if
there is a particularly pressing issue, as correspondence may be a more
effective way to secure agreeement.
