Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee
14th Meeting, 2022
Committees sometimes meet in private. This might be to hear confidential or particularly sensitive information, or to discuss a draft report. When a committee meets in private, its proceedings are not broadcast and, usually, there is no Official Report. However, the committee minutes will record the business taken and any decisions reached.
The Committee will consider the following continued petitions—
PE1862: Introduce community representation on boards of public organisations delivering lifeline services to island communities and will take evidence from the Minister for Transport and Fran Pacitti, Director of Aviation, Maritime, Freight and Canals, Transport Scotland;
PE1856: Support the taxi trade and will take evidence from Murray Fleming and Robert McLean, Scottish Taxi Federation and Steven Grant, Unite;
PE1854: Review the adult disability payment eligibility criteria for people with mobility needs;
PE1907: Provide funded early learning & childcare for all 2 year olds in Scotland; and
PE1914: Ban school uniforms in secondary schools.
