Agenda item 4 is consideration of our annual report. The process itself is very standardised; there is a format for creating the report every year. Now that we have had a chance to see the report, I ask members whether they are happy with its content.
I am entirely happy with the content of the report. My only thought was that we could add a little more to the engagement and innovation section to reflect the number of informal visits that we have undertaken over the year. For example, convener, Ken Macintosh and I visited Deafblind Scotland in Lenzie, I visited New Horizons Borders in Galashiels, you and Annabelle Ewing visited the Glasgow Disability Alliance and a number of us went to food banks in our own constituencies. Perhaps our report would benefit from reflecting that activity.
I think that the clerks would be happy to do that.
The only thing that I would ask is that the report note my objection, as previously mentioned, to the use of the term “bedroom tax”.
We will work that in as usual.
If there are no further comments, we will now, as agreed at the start of the meeting, move into private session.
11:23 Meeting continued in private until 11:40.
