Incidentally, while on the subject of transport, I have just been informed by the Committee Assistant, that, while the Committee are generally content to use a minibus for reasonably short journeys around town, they will probably not be content with this form of transport for longer journeys and you should therefore be prepared to lay on more comfortable alternative transport where necessary. Perhaps you could arrange to let me have an idea of the additional costs this is likely to incur for the Committee.

Yours sincerely
