Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee
10th Meeting, 2023
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.
