Membership of the Enterprise, Trade and Investment Committee 1999-2002

The Enterprise, Trade and Investment Committee was established to "advise and assist" the Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Investment.

It operated during those periods from November 1999 until October 2002 when devolved power in Northern Ireland was fully operational. The two most senior figures on the Committee were the chair and deputy chair.
