Petition

Item 3 is petition PE213, on the establishment of a children's commissioner specifically to consider the rights of children with special needs. Given that the committee has agreed to consider the issue of a children's commissioner, I suggest that we include this matter in that inquiry, which will take place in the autumn, that we keep Ms Silavi and Miss Silavi informed of that and that we pick this matter up again when we have the inquiry. Is that acceptable to members?

Members indicated agreement.
