Scottish Trades Union Congress (Joint Seminar)

The last item concerns a joint seminar with the Scottish Trades Union Congress, which is another event that the committee has run for a number of years. It tends to be a half-day seminar, which is held in the Parliament and is run jointly between the STUC and the committee. Feedback from MSPs and from the STUC on previous seminars has been pretty good. The STUC thinks that the events have worked pretty well.

It takes a while to plan and organise the seminar, so we need to decide fairly soon whether we are content to do it again. Members have seen the briefing paper, which was circulated in advance of the meeting. Are members content that we organise that event again with the STUC?

Members indicated agreement.

I thank members for their attendance and contributions today. As agreed earlier, the next meeting will be next week. Both cabinet secretaries who have interests in the committee will attend the meeting. I hope that we will be able to report back on one or two other items.
