We come to item 3. The Mobility and Access Committee for Scotland has written to the committee following up on issues relating to the Commonwealth games. The letter thanks the committee for its readiness to intervene, but explains that no intervention is necessary; it states that MACS will keep the committee informed should there be any unresolved issues or should any concerns arise. Is the committee content to note the letter, or does anyone have any other views?
I was quite reassured by the letter, particularly by the fact that MACS said that it would come back to us if there are any unresolved concerns. The issue is live for MACS and we know from the fine folk who came and spoke to us that it is not reticent about its concerns. I am content that we have addressed the issue to that extent.
It is helpful to have the letter. We can keep a watching brief on the situation. I thought when I read the letter that a variety of access issues could arise from the Olympic games, which are happening this year. After those games, and in preparation for our Commonwealth games, we or MACS might want to pick up issues. It is useful to keep sight of the issue and note the letter.
I agree.
That is fine. I thank members for their co-operation.
