The SPRA executive committee, after a vigorous and wide-ranging debate at its February meeting, decided:
- As an organisation, SPRA does not intend to express a view about the proposals, on the grounds that there is a variety of strong and valid arguments for and against closure.
- SPRA strongly encourages its members to participate fully in the consultation.
- SPRA will act as a facilitator for networking as required amongst those wishing to work together on this issue.
