Advisory Committee on Historic Ships Consultation

The proposal is to establish an Advisory Committee which has an understanding of historic vessels and the contribution they make to our cultural and maritime heritage, and which can provide fair and balanced advice on preservation and funding priorities.  This will be achieved through a balanced membership comprising experts and advisers drawn from across the historic ships, heritage management, commercial and industrial sectors.

 

This consultation has now ended. The consultation period was 7 November - 16 December 2005. The summary of responses and conclusions was published on 23 January 2006

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport announced in February 2005 that it would set up an Advisory Committee on National Historic Ships,  to become operational from April 2006.

This document sets out the proposal that the Advisory Committee should consist of a Chair and up to 11 Members appointed by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.  Three members would be nominated by the devolved administrations.  The Chair and up to 8 other Members would be appointed by open competition.

This consultation welcomes your views on the composition of the Advisory Committee and the role specifications for the Chair and Members. We do not seek suggestions about the potential suitability of any particular individual for membership of the Committee, but rather comments on the types of knowledge and experience that would enable it to fulfil its remit.
