Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee
7th Meeting, 2022
Committees sometimes meet in private. This might be to hear confidential or particularly sensitive information, or to discuss a draft report. When a committee meets in private, its proceedings are not broadcast and there is no Official Report. However, the committee minutes will record the business taken and any decisions reached.
The Committee will consider the following continued petitions—
PE1804: Halt Highlands & Islands Airports Ltd's Air Traffic Management Strategy, and will take evidence from petitioner Peter Henderson, and then from David Avery, Prospect;
PE1812: Protect Scotland's remaining ancient, native and semi-native woodlands and woodland floors;
PE1837: Provide clear direction and investment for autism support;
PE1845: Agency to advocate for the healthcare needs of rural Scotland;
PE1862: Introduce community representation on boards of public organisations delivering lifeline services to island communities;
PE1867: Establish a new national qualification for British Sign Language (BSL);
PE1890: Find solutions to recruitment and training challenges for rural healthcare in Scotland;
PE1909: Remove the "gender-based crime" domestic abuse narrative and make it gender neutral and equal; and
