Community Welfare Act 1987

The Minister may, by order in writing, establish such regional, local, special or other advisory committees as the Minister thinks fit.

The functions of a committee are to exercise the functions specified in respect of it in the instrument establishing it, or in a subsequent instrument executed by the Minister, and to advise the Minister on such matters as may be referred to it by the Minister.

The Minister shall appoint one of the members of a committee to be the chairperson of the committee.

The chairperson of a committee may be referred to as the chairman or chairwoman, as the case may require.

A member of a committee (other than a public servant) is entitled to be paid such remuneration (including travelling and subsistence allowances) as the Minister may from time to time determine in respect of the member.

Schedule 2 applies to a committee.
