Reporters Groups

I have managed to get the four groups reasonably balanced, with at least three members in each. I suggest that the disability group be led by Michael Matheson, the gender group by Johann Lamont and the sexual orientation group by Nora Radcliffe. It has already been agreed that the race group be led by Michael McMahon.

If the committee agrees on who will be in each group, I will get in touch with those people so that they can arrange to meet. Although it is a short time scale, the groups could come to the next meeting with a list of suggestions for topics that they will consider. Is everybody happy with that?

Members indicated agreement.

We will put that on next week's agenda and it will be a regular item, although if nobody has anything to report, that will be fine.

What else is on Tuesday's agenda?

Objective 3 funding is on the agenda—I hope that members have read the document. I have not.

It might be appropriate to thank the ministers for coming to the meeting.
