For item 5, members should have a copy of the letter that we received from the Broadcasting, Entertainment, Cinematograph and Theatre Union regarding any reduction of regional programming by Scottish Media Group. The committee has discussed the issue before, but concerns have been raised about recent announcements.
Members may have received by e-mail a copy of a press release from Tessa Jowell's office. Given the fact that we are about to go into recess, it might be useful if we first write to Tessa Jowell to indicate the concerns that have been expressed and to receive her views.
Do members have any other thoughts?
I agree with Jackie Baillie's suggestion. Perhaps other useful information could be pulled together in the summer to ensure that people are better informed.
That might be helpful. We can liaise on that and perhaps produce a briefing paper.
