Age

Under the next item, we are to consider a paper on the committee's taking stock exercise on age issues. Does any member have a comment on the paper?

Ms White:

I am quite happy to go along with the revised timescale, which I hope the committee will support. I thank Zoé Tough and the rest of the clerking team for the work that they have done. We will further publicise the exercise as set out in the paper. I will raise the issue at the next meeting of the cross-party group on older people, age and aging. Zoé will provide me with papers for the meeting.

The Convener:

That is fine. I seek members' approval of the points that are outlined in paragraph 4 of the paper. We are asked to agree the revised timescale; that the committee's age reporter works with the clerks to promote the exercise further; and that we copy to the Scottish Executive the responses to our call for evidence that we receive by 2 June 2006. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Meeting suspended.
