Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee
7th Meeting, 2023
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, usually, there is no Official Report. However, the committee minutes will record the business taken and any decisions reached.
Foysol Choudhury will be invited to declare any relevant interests.
The Committee will consider the following continued petitions—
PE1887: Create an Unborn Victims of Violence Act
PE1928: Provide free rail travel for disabled people who meet the qualifications for free bus travel
PE1933: Allow the Fornethy Survivors to access Scotland’s redress scheme
PE1945: Ban the extraction and use of peat for horticulture and all growing media by 2023
PE1946: To call on the Scottish Government to pay all charges for homeless temporary accommodation
