COMMENT
4.
THE DEBATE PROVIDED A THOROUGH AIRING OF THE ISSUES WITH A
BALANCE OF VIEWS FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. IT RECEIVED WIDE AND GENERALLY SENSIBLE MEDIA COVERAGE. A FEW MEMBERS OBVIOUSLY TRIED TO USE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN POLITICAL MILEAGE BY OBJECTING TO THE CONTRIBUTION OR PUTTING UP ALTERNATIVE SUGGESTIONS. BUT THEY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN WINNING OVER THE MAJORITY OF THEIR
COLLEAGUES.
5. A FULL RECORD OF THE DISCUSSION FOLLOWS BY BAG.
