Welcome to the Home Page of the Chairpersons’ Liaison Group.
Welcome to the Home Page of the Chairpersons’ Liaison Group. The group was established on 26 June 2007 and is made up of the Chairpersons of all Statutory and Standing Committees.
The Chairpersons’ Liaison Group fulfils a practical liaison role in relation to the work of Assembly Committees, helping to develop common approaches to common problems and promoting good practice.
In particular the Liaison Group seeks to:
- represent the common interest of Assembly Committees;
- identify, evaluate and assess options for improving the collective effectiveness of Assembly Committees;
- identify, on behalf of committee members and the staff in the Committee Office, common areas for development and training; and
- guide the principal clerks of committees and the Clerk Assistant in making decisions about financial and other resource allocations;
Here you will find information about the Group membership and the work of the Group.
