I welcome everyone to this meeting of the Communities Committee. We have received apologies from Campbell Martin and Elaine Smith. This is not to do with agenda item 1, but I mention that, over the past few weeks, we have been out on our travels in relation to the Antisocial Behaviour etc (Scotland) Bill. We will be reporting on the bill in due course, but I wanted to put on record now my thanks to the clerks for managing what must have been an almost impossible task. I believe that MSPs are even more difficult to herd than hens, so the fact that the clerks managed to organise a substantial number of what turned out to be really good meetings is all credit to them. Many thanks go to them for that.
