Agenda item 3 is to agree formally the committee's decisions at the work-planning meeting and remind ourselves of the decisions. We agreed to scrutinise the first full report on progress towards implementing the single outcome agreements once it is published and to invite the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth to give oral evidence. We also agreed to invite a petitioner to participate in an oral evidence session for the inquiry into local government finance. I do not know whether that is happening. Has it been confirmed that the petitioner and others who have been invited are coming to the oral evidence session?
We have phoned them and are waiting to hear back.
Okay, so we have still to get confirmation. For the record, the petition involved is PE1158. Does the committee confirm for the record what we agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
Do members also agree to the approach to budget scrutiny that we previously discussed?
Members indicated agreement.
