Agenda item 3 is consideration of the committee’s response to the Finance Committee on the budget strategy phase, which is always interesting for us. We hope that, if we manage the pennies, the pounds will look after themselves. I refer members to paper EU/S4/13/8/4, which is entitled “Response to the Finance Committee on the Budget Strategy Phase”. Do members have any comments or questions on the paper?
There are a couple of specific committee considerations that we should look at concerning some of the major events that are coming up. This year is the year of natural Scotland and next year is the year of homecoming. There are also the areas of international development, international strategies, international image and fresh talent to look at. We are invited to consider and agree the areas that I have just listed and to look for updates from the Scottish Government. Are committee members happy to pursue that line?
