Conservation Act 1987

Administration

56: Committees

You could also call this:

"Groups that help the Minister make decisions about conservation"

The Minister can appoint committees to help with advice. You can be on one of these committees if the Minister chooses you. The Minister decides what the committee does and how it works.

The Minister can say that a committee is a statutory board, which is a special kind of group. This means the committee follows the rules of the Fees and Travelling Allowances Act 1951.

If you are on a committee that is a statutory board, you can get paid for your work on the committee. You can also get money to help with travel costs when you are doing committee work.
