Work Programme

The next item is the committee's future work programme. Is everyone happy with it?

The programme for 25 February looks a bit heavy, but good luck with that.

I have a feeling that the meeting might centre on a particular building, but I might be wrong.

Dr Simpson:

We are obviously going to have the HPG and the corporate body back to consider Holyrood but, if we feel that it is appropriate, what about getting Bovis to come to a different meeting—either before or after? The convener might want to consider that. It seems to me that we are not getting to the contractor and addressing their management of the subcontractors.

There is a very strong case for that.

The Convener:

I can see the point. I would like to get some information. I hope that the progress group does that type of thing regularly, but I do not know whether that is the case. I appreciate that we have a responsibility from Parliament to scrutinise the project. It is also important that we look at what other people are doing. I take the point.

Another point is that we meet in public, whereas the other groups meet in private.

That point is noted. Is the work programme agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Meeting closed at 12:26.
