Rodric
Thanks. On my three actions below.
We've amended the attached draft of the paper to include a summary of Section M in the body of the paper and added
a new appendix with the answers to each Horizon Issue. This has been taken from my email last night.
Happy to address verbally at the meeting the advice on appeal and costs (as per our email this morning)
Happy with the wording on contract reform and with sharing the Workshop paper.
Thanks

WBON0001663
v. Comms / PR timings

can socialise with Nick and Tom
