Official Report 545KB pdf
Item 2 is our draft annual report, which members have before them. It follows the required format. I believe that there is a limit to the size that it can be, so—a bit like the budget—if you want to put anything into it, you have to take something out as well.
Paragraph 7 refers to the committee’s view on the Protection of Workers (Scotland) Bill and paragraph 8 refers to the Energy Bill. There is a subheading for the Protection of Workers (Scotland) Bill but not one for the Energy Bill. Further, paragraph 8 notes that the committee reached a decision on the Energy Bill following a division, but paragraph 7 does not note that that was also the case for the Protection of Workers (Scotland) Bill, and it probably should.
I think that we can get those changes in and stay within the word limit.
Paragraph 14 talks about the committee’s two external meetings, in Aberdeen and Skye. The date is given for only one of them, but we should probably include it for both.
That will be added. As there are no further comments, do we agree to approve the draft report, subject to those changes?
