Cross-party Group
Item 2 is a decision on whether to recognise the proposed cross-party group on digital participation.
I have a couple of questions about how the group has been set up, which I will put on record. I note that on the registration form a non-MSP individual member is described as a researcher from the Scottish Parliament, but I understand that the person is a member of MSP staff and is not employed by the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body. I suggest that the description be amended to make that clear—we will make that suggestion in writing. We have also asked questions about the finances of the group. We have received most of the answers that we sought, but we anticipate some additional information.
I recommend that the committee recognise the group.
I should say that I am a member of the group.
That is fine. Are members happy to recognise the group?
Members indicated agreement.
Thank you.
Meeting continued in private until 15:13.
