Draft Report

The Convener:

Item 3 on our agenda is the committee event of 26 June in Jedburgh, where the committee held the fifth event in its rolling programme of events. A draft summary of the event has been circulated to committee members. Do members have any comments on the summary, or can we sign it off as an accurate report? Are there any concerns?

I presume that there is no word on finding the tapes from the meeting?

No.

That is obviously a great shame because a lot of good evidence was given that has now been lost. It is a matter of great regret that the loss has disrupted the functioning of this Parliament.

There is no question that it was a big disappointment.

I assume that new procedures will be put in place to safeguard witness information and that lessons have been learned.

We will use Air Force One and Air Force Two.

The Convener:

The clerks have been in discussions with parliamentary authorities and it has been acknowledged that procedures had to be amended. I think that that work is in hand.

Are members happy for us to sign off the summary?

Members indicated agreement.

I thank everyone for their attendance.

Meeting closed at 11:39.
