Subject to the provisions of paragraph 3 of Schedule 4 to the Act and any Rules made thereunder the Committee may deliberate in camera (with or without the Legal Assessor) at any time and for any purpose during or after the hearing of any proceedings.

Subject to paragraph (1) all proceedings before the Committee shall take place in the presence of all parties thereto who appear therein and shall be held in public except as provided by the following paragraph hereof.

Where in the interests of justice or for any other special reason it appears to the Committee that the public should be excluded from any proceedings or part thereof, the Committee may direct that the public shall be so excluded: but a direction under this paragraph shall not apply to the announcement in pursuance of any of these Rules of a determination of the Committee.

The Committee may adjourn their proceedings from time to time as they think fit.
