Depleted Uranium (IP49)

The next item on the agenda is consideration of inadmissible petitions. IP49, from Robert Stephen, calls on the Scottish Parliament to introduce legislation to ensure equity for village harbours in Scotland. IP48, from George H Hamilton, calls on the Scottish Parliament to introduce legislation to ensure that a former employer, when named as a referee, is obliged to provide a reference. IP49, from Mr Stuart McCabe, calls on the Scottish Parliament to initiate an investigation into the health effects of exposure to depleted uranium munitions and to ensure the clean-up and mitigation of depleted uranium contamination at specific sites. There is accompanying documentation that explains why the petitions are inadmissible. Do members agree to the recommendations in that paper?

Members indicated agreement.
