29. ADMISSION OF THE PRESS (1979)

29. ADMISSION OF THE PRESS

(from "Chairman's Report of the Thirty-First Annual Meeting")

The Commission considered the admission of the Press to the meeting noting both advantages and disadvantages and recognising difficulties experienced by the press in obtaining information from and access to delegates while the meeting is in progress. No changes were made to existing arrangements whereby the press are able to report plenary sessions but it was agreed that in future either the Chairman or Vice-Chairman would attempt to make themselves available to the press at least once a day.
