Budget 2002-03
As members know, the committee is responsible for monitoring the budgets of the various departments that our remit covers. Previously, we appointed a reporter who met the relevant officials and reported back to the committee. We then expanded our report from that.
Because of the committee's present agenda, it would be helpful if we could appoint a reporter to get the detailed information that we need, over the next few weeks, and return to the committee with a report. I suggest that Cathy Peattie, the deputy convener, should take on that role. The reporter's role is simply to go to the Executive, get the information and bring it back. The committee can then discuss the budgets and how they are being used. Unless there any comments, can we agree to appoint Cathy Peattie as the reporter?
Members indicated agreement.
