New Petitions (Notification)
I invite members to note the new petitions that have been lodged since our most recent meeting, which will be timetabled to come before us for consideration in due course.
How are we getting on with our progress through the petitions?
It is like wading through treacle.
We are approaching what people call the festive period—I call it the seriously stressful period. I am privileged to convene such a good committee and the support that I have had from members during the past months has been helpful. We have had an incredible workload. This has been our longest meeting, as a result of the nature of the issues that we discussed. I wish everyone well during the break and I hope that you come back in January refreshed and willing to face what might be a mountain of petitions. I close the formal part of the meeting, but there are a few housekeeping issues to tidy up, so I ask members to stay back while we do that.
Meeting closed at 16:44.
