I agree that we should put the issue in our legacy paper, but there is a piece of work that should be done prior to the next committee being established. The petitioner has raised a number of questions in relation to the responses received, and it might be useful to send on a copy of the response from the petitioner to the various organisations that she has cited and to ask them for responses to the issues that the petitioner has raised in the light of the responses that we have received from other organisations. Clearly, as you have indicated, convener, some of the issues that were originally raised by the petitioner were not addressed by the organisations that responded, so it might be worthwhile giving them another opportunity to respond, based on the petitioner’s reply but also by reminding them of what the original petition was asking for. That would form the basis for future consideration by the next committee.
