Official Report 148KB pdf
The first report should be from Irene McGugan, but she is not here—she sent her apologies, as did Johann Lamont, who is also not here. However, Michael McMahon is here.
Further to the report that I gave at our previous meeting, the race reporter's group will meet tomorrow morning to consider a draft response to the Scottish Homes document. I hope that the draft that I am proposing for our discussion tomorrow will be available on e-mail later—I hope to do that this afternoon—as it will form the basis for our discussion. It will generate further discussion at next week's full committee meeting.
It might be useful if, in collaboration with the clerks, your group could consider and suggest lines of questioning arising from our session with Positive Action in Housing on Scottish Homes and from your discussions tomorrow. Perhaps you could pull that together.
If the reporter's group so decides tomorrow, it should be possible to send a document to Martin Verity, so that members have it before the next committee meeting.
Thank you, Michael.
I want to remind members that the next meeting of the sexual orientation reporter's group will take place at lunch time on Thursday. It will be held across the road at the Edinburgh central library in a meeting room—I do not know whether that room is described as the boardroom. We are hoping to attract as many MSPs as possible, to widen the input from the Scottish Parliament side, by bribing you with lunch.
Thank you, Nora.
Meeting continued in private until 15:18.
