Digital Hub Development Agency Bill, 2002: Report and Final Stages.

 

As regards amendment No. 22, the existing provision would not preclude the holding of the meeting by means of teleconferencing provided that the various statutory conditions relating to the holding of meetings were satisfied. I acknowledge the spirit of the amendment, but it is not necessary. It is a useful practical consideration to minimise expense should board members be outside the country, which would be the case with the current board. It is not necessary to provide for it in the Bill as it is possible to do this under existing legislation.
