At the meeting held on 12 September 1967 the Chairman put forward the view that the Committee should be disbanded as its work was completed and that it was not possible for members to meet more than once a year. Members agreed with this view and it was agreed that the Vice-Chancellor should investigate the feasibility of winding -up the Committee.
