I spoke to the author of the submission from Falkirk Council, who indicated that the council has had to undertake substantial work to put in screening and ensure that other issues are dealt with, particularly in relation to residents using the crematorium grounds for walking their dogs.
Nowadays, we have mobile phones, tablets and computers that can capture screen shots of private messages, such as intimate texts, which could be just as embarrassing or humiliating as an intimate image could be.
Although that concern may not, as yet, be on the radar screen of the general public, if the safety of Scotland’s communities is in any way thought to be at risk, it certainly will be.
I had another request to speak on my screen, but I am afraid that it came too late for me to call the speaker.I call Elaine Murray to wind up and indicate whether she wishes to press or withdraw amendment 1.
I should also mention the Malcolm Group; First Group in Aberdeen; and ViNE—veterans into new enterprises—which I visited with Angus MacDonald in Grangemouth yesterday.
That applies as much to Fiona McLeod’s mums visiting the Parliament as it does to anybody else.I am sorry, but I perhaps did not quite understand your point.

Their support teams are regularly in touch with community planning partners. I have visited several community planning partnerships to engage in different kinds of discussion on different issues.
