Annual Report

The Convener:

Item 4 is consideration of our draft annual report. As committee members can see from the paper by the clerks, it is a factual report that documents the work that we have done. The format and length of the report have been set down by the Conveners Group, to ensure consistency across committees. Do members have any points to make on the report?

There is no mention of the recognition that the committee has received, such as the committee of the year award at the Scottish politician of the year awards. We should stick it in.

The Convener:

That is true. I am not sure that the Conveners Group would necessarily welcome that. The problem is that there is a word limit and we would have to take something out of the annual report to put that in, so I will assume that people know about it.

We agreed to take agenda item 5, which is consideration of our report on the financial memorandum for the Tourist Boards (Scotland) Bill, in private, so we now move into private.

Meeting continued in private until 11:17.
