Annual Report
Agenda item 1 is the consideration of a draft text for inclusion in the annual report.
Rule 12.9 in the standing orders states:
"Each committee shall, as soon as practicable after the end of each Parliamentary year, submit a report to the Parliament."
The conveners liaison group agreed at its meeting yesterday that the reports of all 16 committees should be published in a single volume and that they should conform to a standard pattern. Members should have in front of them a draft of the proposed text to be included in the report on the work of the committee. It includes all of the detail that is required to be incorporated. Do members have any comments on the draft annual report?
I would like the report to say that we initiated a few debates in the Parliament.
Are there any other comments?
Is the register of interests for members' staff coming forward after the recess?
Yes. At the conveners liaison group meeting yesterday, we agreed that we should consider that as a priority as soon as we come back in September.
A timetable is also attached. Rather than bringing the matter back to another committee meeting in September, are members content for me to make any necessary editorial changes during the recess?
Members indicated agreement.
