Convener's Report

The final matter is the convener's report. Members will have seen from their e-mail that the European ombudsman, Jacob Soderman, is visiting Parliament on 3 May at 10 am. He particularly wants to meet the Public Petitions Committee. Unfortunately I cannot meet him, because the Social Inclusion, Housing and Voluntary Sector Committee is considering the first draft of my housing report. Pauline McNeill should, however, attend, and other members who are available should let the clerk know.

I thank members for their patience and fortitude throughout this lengthy meeting. We will have to find a way of bringing meetings to a speedier conclusion.

Meeting closed at 16:43.
