Correspondence

The next item is correspondence.

A paper listing recently received correspondence has been circulated. It is on the agenda for information and in case any member wishes to raise any points.

Johann and I expressed an interest in attending the event in Belfast that members have been notified about. I understand that we can both go. Johann, do you want to say something about it?

I am very pleased that we will have the opportunity to go. I understand that it is about setting the women's agenda for the Northern Ireland Assembly. Although there may be difficulties in relation to the assembly, the women's agenda is continuing.

We were asked to talk about the experience of the Scottish Parliament. I understand that a number of groups have been invited to participate. It may be possible to give more detailed information before we go and we will give a full report when we return.

I now bring the public part of the meeting to a close.

Meeting continued in private until 12:27.
