The final item is a proposed petition that calls on the Scottish Parliament to consider and debate the implications for the renewable energy industry of a new Scottish invention that is known as GENTEC venturi. The petitioner also requests that the Scottish Parliament consider the cost implications of purchasing desalinated water from that invention's by-product. The petition appears to seek to promote a specific product, instead of asking the Parliament to take a view on a matter of wide public interest or concern. In that respect, the petition is probably inadmissible. Do members agree?
Reluctantly, I agree. These people have outlined a fascinating concept, but I do not think that the petition is admissible. Nonetheless, I wish them well.
Are members happy that we close discussion of the petition?
We are looking at you quizzically, convener, because we are wondering what happened to PE807, on supermarkets.
Have I lost a page or did I turn over two pages of my briefing at once? I think that I have lost a page. Can we defer discussion of the petition until next week? I do not think that it is urgent. I do not seem to have the petition among my briefings this morning. I do not know whether the briefing is not ready. Are members happy for us to put the petition on the agenda for our next meeting and to deal with it then?
We will have a clerks' inquiry.
Meeting closed at 12:34.
