That is agreed.

We move to the next category of correspondence, which is from private individuals, and any other correspondence. We agreed to hold over several items from our meeting of 26 January. No. R1687C from Deputy Paul McAuliffe, dated 18 January. It is correspondence to the committee regarding Whitehall College. It is proposed to note and publish this item. Deputy McAuliffe is not here. He asked a specific question regarding No. 1687 and Whitehall College. The best thing to do, with the agreement of the committee, is to hold off until he comes back. It is very much a local issue but he has a right to raise it here and he may want to give a further explanation of what is in the letter. Having read the letter, it is my opinion it is something the committee should follow up on. We will wait until next week to deal with it. Is that agreed? Agreed.

The following two items are related. The first is No. R1690C and the second is No. R1692C from Deputy Alan Dillon, dated 19 January, and is correspondence to the committee in regard to inland fisheries. It is proposed to note both items. A further item of correspondence was received from Deputy Dillon in regard to inland fisheries which will be discussed later in private session. The floor is open to Deputy Dillon and Deputy Catherine Murphy. I call Deputy Dillon.
