Item 5 relates to the proposed European Parliament study visit. We must decide whom to nominate to visit the European Parliament next spring. The aim of the exercise is to familiarise members with the legislative process and operation of the European Parliament. On 19 February there will be a briefing for the member who is chosen.
It is important that we nominate someone who can make best use of the visit. In my view, that person is the convener.
Are you suggesting that I desperately need to learn more about European legislation?
Absolutely. I nominate the convener.
I second that. The convener is quite a big guy and no one wants to fight over this.
I am happy to go if that is what the committee wants, although I am willing to listen to a different view.
Just take it.
Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
Meeting continued in private until 16:30.
