Good morning, and welcome to the 15th meeting in 2023 of the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee. Before we begin our proceedings, I welcome our new clerk, Jyoti Chandola, and, in so doing, very much thank Andrew Mylne, who acted as clerk to the committee during the past year. He stepped in for Lynn Tullis, whom we still hope to see back with us in early course. Andrew did a fantastic job, and I place on the record my thanks and the thanks of the committee for everything that he did, particularly in supporting us through our recently completed inquiry, which will be the subject of a debate in the chamber later this week.
Under our first agenda item, we must decide whether to take in private agenda items 5, 6 and 7. In addition to the consideration of petitions today, a number of related issues require our attention. Agenda item 5 relates to budget scrutiny, agenda item 6 relates to the policy on the publication of previous actions in relation to information in petitions, and agenda item 7 relates to the A9 dualling project inquiry and will give us an opportunity to consider where we go next and the evidence that we heard from Alex Neil, our former colleague, at the previous meeting. Are members content to conduct items 5, 6 and 7 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
