I welcome the minister and his officials.As the minister knows, the committee has taken evidence from the petitioners, who are Miss Mary E Mackenzie, David Harvie—on behalf of West Dunbartonshire Heritage Limited—and Sally Richardson.
I hope that it will help communities to have more of a voice in future. Like Mary Scanlon, I think that the evidence taking has been a useful exercise, as it has brought clarity.
We must also be clear that, in the example that Mary Scanlon gives of a church minister being a charity trustee, the church minister also has a number of other roles.
The principle is acceptable, but not the 10 years. Thank you to Marie Galbraith, Margaret Reid and John McCormick for their evidence, which has been duly noted and will be taken account of.
