Justice for Megrahi (PE1370)
Judiciary (Register of Interests) (PE1458)
Non-fatal Strangulation (Ban) (PE2136)
Our next item of business is consideration of three public petitions that are currently live and that were referred to our committee during this session of Parliament. I am grateful to all the petitioners who sent additional information to us. I refer members to paper 2.
We need to decide whether to close the petitions or keep them open for our successor committee in the next session. My view is that there are reasons to keep all three petitions open because they involve on-going issues that have not yet reached a conclusion. I do not feel that it would be right to close them yet.
I seek members’ views. Are members content to keep the petitions open? Jamie Hepburn, you are looking—
That is just the way that I look, convener.
I am broadly content. I note that there has been a bit more progress on non-fatal strangulation than on the other two, but I agree that they should be left open.
Are members content to keep the petitions open?
Members.
We will do any follow-up accordingly.
