Rural Affairs and Islands Committee
5th 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, usually, there is no Official Report. However, the committee minutes will record the business taken and any decisions reached.
The Committee will decide whether to take item 6 in private. The Committee will also decide whether its consideration of a draft letter on the draft National Planning Framework 4 should be taken in private at its next meeting.
The Committee will take evidence from—
Mairi Gougeon, Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and Islands;
Tom Arthur, Minister for Public Finance, Planning and Community Wealth;
Jill Barber, Head of Aquaculture Development; Cara Davidson, Branch Head: Environment and Natural Resources; Andy Kinnaird, Head of Planning Transformation; Philip Raines, Head of Rural Economy and Communities Division; and Fiona Simpson, Chief Planner, Scottish Government.
