Annex B1 – The relative roles and responsibilities of committee chairmen and committees

This document, identified as Annex B1 of the strand one subcommittee report, outlines the proposed roles and responsibilities of Committee Chairmen and Committees within the Northern Ireland Assembly, particularly when executive responsibilities are assigned to Departmental Committees. It emphasizes the need for clear guidance to ensure fair representation of all main traditions in Northern Ireland. The document suggests that Chairmen, and possibly Deputy Chairmen, should have full access to departmental officials and papers, similar to current Ministers, while the Committees should be serviced by Assembly staff. It also details the decision-making process, categorizing decisions based on whether they can be made independently by Departments, by the Committee Chairman within established policy frameworks, or require prior approval from the Committee as a whole, with provisions for handling politically sensitive or crucial decisions.
