To consider suggestions from the public on issues the committee could scrutinise in the future.

Further correspondence has been received from Mr McKay and this is attached for consideration by the committee.

(There will be no discussion of the issue at the time when the matter is raised.  Consideration will be given to whether it should form part of the committee’s work programme when compared with other competing priorities.)

The chairman thanks Mr McKay for his continued interest in the work of scrutiny. It was noted that two briefing notes had already been produced on related matters and as a result the chairman was arranging a meeting between Mr McKay and relevant officers to better address his concerns.
