Official Report 535KB pdf
Welcome back. Agenda item 3 is consideration of a draft annual report, copies of which members have in their papers. I am happy to go through the report page by page, if members are content with that.
There is a general introduction on page 1, which contains paragraphs 1 to 6. Are there any issues with that page?
The report is a good summary of what we did, but maybe it could be enhanced a wee bit if we included some of the issues of concern to the committee during the year. It reads as more of a statement of what we did rather than of what we felt about certain issues, such as broadband and small business expansion. I thought that the issues that arose and were discussed in the committee might be worthy of a little footnote to round off the report.
A standard report is just a reflection of what happened in the committee.
All right, but the report could be enhanced and made better by doing that. If the public want to find out what the committee did, the report is fine, but it could include what we discussed and what the issues of concern to us were.
A bit of discussion on the format of the reports is going on in the Conveners Group. That is an on-going piece of work; the draft report is what we have right now.
Fair enough.
Page 2 contains paragraphs 7 to 10, and page 3 contains paragraphs 11 to 14. The next page contains paragraphs 15 to 18. There is a lovely photograph of Hanzala Malik at Scottish Ballet.
Just in case anybody missed it.
He is not wearing a tutu.
Paragraph 19, on the final page, is on meetings.
Are members content to publish the annual report?
