Item 4 returns us to our integrated rural development inquiry. Members have before them a short note on the fact-finding visit to Colonsay that reporters made on 22 May. Members will recall that one of the objectives of the visit was to explore specific issues relating to island communities. If the reporters have nothing that they wish to add to the paper and members have no questions to put to the reporters, I ask the committee to note the paper, which will become part of the evidence in our inquiry.
I would like to thank the reporters for carrying out the exercise, which has been useful and informative to the committee.
Thank you. It was a useful and informative visit, although it was not regarded by all people on Colonsay with as much equanimity as members would have liked. However, that is an issue on which I will write to one or two people.
