Annual Report

Agenda item 3 is consideration of the committee's draft annual report. We are allowed about 750 words for our report, which must be submitted by 11 May—as usual, we have a pressing deadline to meet. I invite members to comment on the draft report. Does any member have a suggestion for an area of work that should be emphasised in the report? For example, we could highlight some of the petitions that we have considered.

No member has a comment to make, so the clerks and I will try to reflect the committee's views in the final draft. Perhaps we will include some of the petitions that we closed last week. Even though we did not conduct full-scale inquiries into the subject of the petitions, quite a bit of consideration was given to them.

Meeting continued in private until 13:30.
