New Petitions
Community Sports Clubs (PE868)
As members will have noticed, my motion on the subject is mentioned in the accompanying paperwork. Mr Sutherland has been very supportive of the motion and we have been in contact about the matter. However, I have not been in contact with him on the particular issue that has been raised. I am not absolutely sure that the petition's proposal is feasible. I understand the sentiment behind it and I hope that we can achieve what is suggested, although I would like to get the opinion of various bodies on the feasibility of that.
