Annual Report

The Convener

Agenda item 3 is our annual report for the period from 11 May 2014 to 10 May 2015. Members will know that the format and length of committee annual reports are standardised, but we are entitled to comment on it and discuss the document. Does anyone have observations or points that they want to raise?

Annabel Goldie

I am aware that my predecessor on the committee dissented from one of the reports and made dissenting comments in relation to another report. Would it be appropriate to refer to that in the annual report, not in detail but merely to observe that the reports were not unanimous? That would simply reflect the position that was expressed by my colleague.

That would continue the process that was established by Alex Johnstone. If Annabel Goldie is happy to do that, we shall include that as a footnote.

Thank you very much.

Is everyone else happy with that?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener

Our next meeting will be on 19 May, when we expect to have our first oral evidence session as part of the women and welfare inquiry, and when we shall also take further evidence on the mitigation of the bedroom tax.

Meeting closed at 12:48.
