General Issues

Issues:
− Bulgaria Common Fund contributions outstanding
− Invoice for DoE was £42k but should have been
£39k (clerical error in census) – suggest to keep
£3k as advance on 2014/15
− Levy 2014/15 to be issued by Summer 2014
− Liquid Helium costs estimated at £100k
− ISIS operations support staff: need to negotiate
within MICE Collaboration Board fraction of ISIS
staff to be covered by CF
