Conclusion
In May 2020, the Sponsor body announced a strategic review; it expects to report in the autumn.16 The Sponsor Body told us that the object of the review was to test whether the assumptions of the Joint Committee’s work have changed “politically, economically or environmentally” since its 2016 report.17 While this seems sensible to gather the opinions of new Members, we are concerned that the scope of the strategic review is wide and will allow for the re-opening of numerous decisions. The Sponsor Body told us that the review includes whether to uphold the previous decision to fully decant during the Programme.18
