Members have already agreed to meet in private at our next meeting to discuss lines of questioning. In addition, do members agree to meet in private to discuss the stage 1 draft report?
Members indicated agreement.
I have one item before we close, which is that I am going to mention something after we close the meeting.
On that point, we are going to meet in private to consider the stage 1 draft report, but we still have evidence to hear. Is that correct?
Yes. This is an extra session that we have fitted in, because we felt that we had to get a fuller picture. It now butts up against the time when we will consider the draft report. I emphasise that it will simply be a draft report. Obviously, we will have to include the evidence that we hear. The point of the discussion is to begin to formulate the areas that we want to focus on. Some of them are pretty clear already, in that they are issues that we want to examine and issues of difficulty or agreement, but next time we meet we should be able to do something formally.
Meeting closed at 12:54.
