Consultation Process

Item 3 is an update on the consultation process.

I advise members that, over the past couple of weeks, we have sent out a fairly substantial mailshot to more than 200 organisations throughout Scotland. Thankfully, that was not my responsibility but that of my colleague David Simpson, who has given sterling service. We are still welcoming new contacts to which we can send the terms of reference, and we have received some comments back. The deadline is 4 November. We will prepare a summary document for the committee, on whom we sent that mailshot to, who has replied, and what kind of issues have been raised during that process.

Thanks very much, Stephen.
