Item 6 is the civic participation event. Members have a paper on that. The event should be interesting, as no positive response has been given to the Executive's response to our report on the Gypsy/Traveller inquiry. Most members will have received a copy of the letter that Mark Kennedy of the Scottish Gypsy Traveller Association sent to Henry McLeish. I found the response quite disappointing.
I do not have a copy of that letter.
He has sent it to all members. I received a copy in my office yesterday. I am sure that you will receive it.
No.
A draft press release is being handed out to members. I suggest that we adjourn for five minutes, to give members a chance to read the press release.
Meeting adjourned.
On resuming—
Members have had a chance to look at the draft press release. Are members agreed that it is okay?
We need people to chair the four workshops. Kay Ullrich has agreed to take the health and social services workshop, Michael McMahon has agreed to chair the accommodation workshop and Cathy Peattie is to chair education. We therefore need someone to chair the police workshop.
I will do that.
Lyndsay McIntosh will chair the police workshop.
