Cabinet Committees

Put that the Deputy Prime Minister (DPM)was chairman of five Cabinet Committees, deputy chairman of seven, and chairman of five sub-committees, and which ones were the new jobs, and had the job of chairman to the animal rights activists sub-committee just been given in place of giving up Constitutional Affairs, the PMOS said that Mr. Prescott was chairman of nine committees, whereas he was deputy chairman of seven. The PMOS said that he was chairman of Domestic Affairs, Public Health, Housing and Planning, Inspection, Post Office Network, Aging Policy, Local and Regional Government, Local Government and Strategy and Performance and Animal Rights Activists. Jack Straw had taken over the chairmanship of Constitutional Affairs and the Electoral Committee in line with his responsibility, but the DPM had taken over Housing and Planning, Inspection, Post Office Network, Aging Policy, Local and Regional Government, Local Government and Strategy and Performance and Animal Rights Activists.

Asked whether Animal Rights Activists was a new committee, the PMOS said it was not new. The reason it was there was because it was an issue was cross-departmental and as the Prime Minister’s comments at the weekend revealed, it was an issue which we took very seriously. The new committees was the Post Office Network.

Asked about the Post Office Network, and what was it for, the PMOS replied that there were issues about post offices, and the committee would deal with those.
