BVRLA Committees consist of representatives from small and medium-sized businesses as well as larger organisations and multi-nationals. Having representation from across all membership categories ensures that the BVRLA is kept informed of what issues matter most to members, and can collectively agree on a course of action.

Meeting rules
Competition law: Do's and Don'ts
All BVRLA Committees must be conducted in compliance with competition law. Whilst taking part in Committees, members must refrain from exchanging any commercially sensitive or strategic information between competitors, either directly or indirectly via a third party, as this can result in an anti-competitive agreement.
The BVRLA has developed a useful one-page set of guidelines to help those taking part in Committees to adhere to competition rules. The BVRLA meeting rules provide further detail.
