Mr. Martin Hanevy:
That is new. It replaces the old system of a sub-committee of the VEC being no different to any other sub-committee. We changed that in the legislation in the first instance by making it a mandatory committee. There was a mandatory finance committee and we added this one to it. The change was enacted in legislation. We further tried to improve the situation by introducing a code of governance and moving away from it being clearly members of the ETB to at least 50% external people, including the chair.
