Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009

The next item is consideration of correspondence from the convener of the Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change Committee. Does the committee agree in principle to participate in the parliamentary scrutiny of the Scottish Government’s climate change report?

I think that we should. The report will cover a lot of energy-related issues that we have explored in the past, and the role of local government is important, so I suggest that we do.

I agree with David McLetchie, particularly given our scrutiny of NPF 2, which obviously covers the issues too.

I think that we have consensus in principle. We will obviously see what the report says, as that will determine how involved we get, but do we agree to participate in principle?

Members indicated agreement.

We move into private for the last item.

11:28 Meeting continued in private until 12:20.
