Equal Opportunities (PE618)

Agenda item 3 is on petition PE618. The paper on the petition was circulated with the agenda. There is an error in the first line in paragraph 4, which should read:

"The Committee is asked to consider the points the petition raises."

If members have no comments on the paper, do they agree to the suggested approach?

Members indicated agreement.

I agree to the approach, but I would like to consider further the issues raised in paragraph 5 of the paper. I would be happy, as the race reporter, to pursue that and it is my intention, as the paper says, to

"work to improve channels of communication between Parliament and people from ethnic minorities".

Thank you.
