Draft Annual Report 2001-02

Item 6 on the agenda is on the draft annual report. The item is to ask whether members have any questions or comments to make, and whether we should add to the report if anything has been missed out.

I have one small point to make. The first page of the annexe states:

"The Committee has published one report on parliamentary questions and anticipates publishing a second before summer recess 2001."

There is a sort of fiction that says that we wrote that annexe in May, but it reads rather strangely.

Would it be competent to put in a footnote to the effect that, since the time of writing, a further report has been made?

I do not see why not.

If there is anything else in the report that you feel should be treated in the same way, feel free to interpret that decision appropriately, John.

Thank you.

Do members agree to approve the report otherwise?

Members indicated agreement.
