Committee Business

The Convener:

The second item on the agenda is an update on committee business. Members will remember that we agreed to include this item on every agenda to update members on previous items of committee business that are not individual agenda items. Do members want to be updated on any business that is not on the agenda?

I thought that we were circulating reports of visits.

The Convener:

Yes, we were indeed. I saw my reports sitting on the desk today, which probably means that they have not been circulated.

You are right, Mike—those reports were supposed to be circulated via e-mail. I do not know whether other committee members have done so; as I see many guilty faces around the table, I will assume that people were overrun before the recess. Will committee members please circulate those reports?

As my colleagues on my left are criticising me for having raised the point, I think that I will just withdraw it.

I take it, Mike, that you are the only member who has circulated his report.

Please, miss, I have been a good boy.

I suppose that there is a first time for everything.

My dog ate my report.

Mike must have had a very sad Christmas.

Mr Monteith:

As the matter is not on the agenda, it might be useful to mention responses to the inquiry into the Roman remains at Cramond. Although we have received a number of responses, we still await one from Historic Scotland, and until that arrives, it would be too soon to report back on the matter.

It has been drawn to my attention that the constituency MSP for Cramond was not told that people were going to crawl all over her patch. I wonder whether that is something of which we should be mindful.

I am quite happy to inform constituency MSPs about what is going on.

A letter will be sent to the constituency MSP and the local councillor for Cramond to ask for their views on the matter.

They used to be the same person.

Used to be, but are no longer.

We will ensure that that is done.
