We move on to agenda item 4. Members will recall that we intend to publish a report on parliamentary oversight of intergovernmental relations in early October. Do members agree that, following the publication of that report, we should seek a debate on it in the chamber in late October or November?
It would be a good idea to have that debate. The question is: what length of debate? We can see that there are ways in which the matter needs to be teased out. Duncan McNeil has been very strong about the way in which we need to develop those things. I suggest that we seek a debate.
Okay—so we need a debate in which there is enough time to debate the issue properly.
Yes.
I can try to negotiate that on our behalf as we go through the process.
Is everybody happy with the suggestion that we go for a debate?
Members indicated agreement.
We will now move into private session.
11:01 Meeting continued in private until 11:18.
