Procedures Committee, 02 Nov 1999

Meeting date: Tuesday, November 2, 1999

Communication

The Convener:

Item 12 is a letter that I received, including a briefing paper, on the culture of our politics. Its joint authors would like to meet the committee—I am sure that the committee will agree to that. It would not be a formal meeting and would not require an Official Report. It would simply be an exchange with the organisation in question.

I would have thought that those people would have liked to give evidence on the process so far. Alice Brown's department is doing work on members' experience of procedures.

The Convener:

I do not think that they are looking to give evidence. If they wanted to do so, and to make specific points, that would be appropriate. I was under the impression that they wanted to talk about those matters on a more or less informal basis. We will ask them; if they want to present formal evidence and look for formal responses, we will have a formal meeting of the committee with them.

If it is best to do so.

We will make the offer.
