Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 21st meeting in 2015 of the Public Petitions Committee. I remind everyone present to switch off mobile phones, BlackBerrys and other electronic equipment, please, because they interfere with the sound system.
Agenda item 1 is to seek the committee’s agreement to take in private agenda item 4, which is the review of the public petitions process, and agenda item 5, which is the committee’s work programme. Do members agree to take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.
I note apologies from Angus MacDonald, who has the flu this morning. Hanzala Malik will be here as soon as he can. Jackson Carlaw has also had to put in his apologies.
