Annual Report

We next meet on 12 May, when we will take evidence from the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth on the budget strategy. That will be followed by the joint seminar with the Scottish Trades Union Congress.

Meeting closed at 12:49.

Item 3 concerns consideration of the committee’s annual report for 2009-10, which the standing orders require us to produce.

Members have before them the draft report. Does anyone have any comments?

I have spotted one or two typos.

You can bring those to the attention of the clerks after the meeting.

I am not sure about the wording of paragraph 11, on petitions. I do not think that the sentence

“no petitions were considered by the Committee”

reflects what happened. The reality is that no petitions were referred to the committee. That is probably a better way of phrasing it.

With that change, do we agree to the annual report?

Members indicated agreement.
