Agenda item 3 is consideration of a draft annual report for the parliamentary year from 11 May 2015 to 23 March 2016. Do members have any comments on the annual report?
I have a couple of points. Under the heading “Female Genital Mutilation”, would it be appropriate to make reference to the members’ business debate that our colleague John Mason secured and the meeting that we had thereafter with some representatives of relevant bodies?
Yes, we can do that.
It was the convener who secured the debate, not me.
I beg your pardon.
That is okay.
I think that it would be appropriate to add that information because the debate was important. It enjoyed the unanimous support of the committee.
My second point is a tediously pedantic one on spelling. In paragraph 25, under the “Other activities” heading, the third line reads “this lead to visits”. I rather suspect that that is meant to be “this led to visits”. I point that out purely to confirm to everyone that I read the meeting papers.
That error was put there deliberately to check that people read the report. [Laughter.] If no one else has any comments to make about the annual report, we will take on board those points.
That concludes the public part of today’s meeting. Our next meeting will take place on Thursday 10 March.
