I have received no apologies for today's meeting.Agenda item 1 is our consideration of petition PE941 by Frank Buckley, on behalf of the Society for the Protection of Salmon and Sea Trout, which calls for the Parliament to urge the Executive to ensure greater protection for the rivers, streams and lochs of Scotland, such as Loch Broom and the River Gruinard, from fish farm developments. The Public Petitions Committee has formally referred the petition to us and has passed on the written evidence that it requested from a number of organisations.
