Energy Inquiry

The next item is the energy inquiry, in particular the Scottish Government's response. My proposal is merely to note the response at this stage, but to have a more detailed discussion about it next week, which should give members a bit more time to digest it—it is a fairly lengthy response to a fairly lengthy inquiry. I hope that members agree that we should allow a bit of time to give it some proper thought.

I presume that we have a bid in for a parliamentary debate.

Yes. We agreed to ask for one. The Conveners Group meets next week, so we will hopefully get some indication then of a date for that debate.

Is it agreed that we look at the response next week in detail?

Members indicated agreement.

Meeting continued in private until 12:02.
