7. Appointment of sub-committees (1) The Committee may appoint one or more sub-committees— (a) to inquire into and advise the Committee on such matters within the scope of the Committee’s functions as the Committee may refer to it; and (b) to exercise such of the powers and perform such of the duties as the Committee may refer to the sub-committee. (2) A sub-committee may consist of such persons as the Committee may determine. (3) Every sub-committee shall be subject to the control of the Committee and may be discharged or reconstituted at any time by the Committee. (4) The referral of a duty to a sub-committee does not relieve the Committee of responsibility for the performance of its duty.
