The Programme Board met forty times. It was replaced by the BGS Board in January 1998. Under the new arrangements there were no assessors, some of whom, though they had received the papers, had never attended a meeting. Instead, Observers were invited to attend meetings. B R Marker of the Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions, whose attendance record as an assessor was nearly complete, was the only one of these. In July 1999 four BGS Assistant Directors were invited to attend Board meetings on an informal basis as the Executive Members. In March 2000 this arrangement became formal.
