Public Petitions Committee

Meeting date: Thursday, March 19, 2020

Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Johann Lamont)

I welcome everyone to the fifth meeting in 2020 of the Public Petitions Committee. We have received apologies from Gail Ross and Tom Mason, and we welcome Jackie Baillie for a number of the petitions.

It had been our intention to have a round-table discussion on petition PE1707, on public access defibrillators. Given the circumstances that we are in, the committee will defer that and come back to it. We will obviously want to take that forward at a later date.

The first item on our agenda is a decision on taking agenda item 4 in private. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
