Item of business
Petitions
Inverness Fire Service Control Room (PE1511)
Murray, Elaine Lab Dumfriesshire Watch on SPTV
PE1510 is on the closure of police, fire and non-emergency call centres north of Dundee. The clerk’s paper discusses the petition, along with PE1511. Since the committee’s previous consideration of PE1510, the Justice Sub-Committee on Policing has taken evidence from Mr Penman, Her Majesty’s inspector of constabulary in Scotland, on his final report on call handling. What he had to say is set out on page 14 of the clerk’s paper. I seek members’ views on PE1510. Options are set out on page 13 of the paper.

I agree with Alison McInnes—we should keep both petitions open.
Margaret Mitchell Con
I support that, as well.
Christian Allard SNP
I am happy with that.
Roderick Campbell SNP
I would not go into the ditch over it.
The Deputy Convener Lab
Okay. We agree to keep both petitions open. Do we want to do anything further with PE1511 or should we just keep it open?
Margaret Mitchell Con
We should just keep it open.
The Deputy Convener Lab
Okay. We will not take any other action. Thank you.
