Most of the organisations from which we received briefings during the recess raised the point that there are alarming discrepancies in public appointments.
I think that it has been very rewarding and that it has built on our first meeting and the two-day briefing session during the recess. We will now develop a work programme for the foreseeable future.
The new arrangement will probably not be introduced until a couple of weeks after the February recess. The debate is likely to be on 11 February, so it will probably not be possible to bring in the new rota until the second week after the recess.
It will be the last meeting before the recess, so we will decide then. I agree with your proposal that the matter should go on the agenda for that meeting.
I ask members to bear in mind the fact that we have submitted a bid for a slot to air our report in the Parliament after the summer recess. I ask members to keep an eye on that.
Because of that, I have to say, reluctantly, that it is unlikely that we will be able to do more work on domestic violence this side of the recess. We need to have a discussion about that.
