Legacy Paper

Meeting date: 22 June 2021

Paul McLennan

I concur with the comments that have been made. Involving people in our work is important. We need to reach out to as many people as possible and ensure that we listen to all parts of society. We have not mentioned the Scottish election, but it was mentioned in the legacy paper. We all went into the election thinking that turnout might drop, but the opposite happened, so it would be good to understand the reasons behind that. We should obviously try to encourage as big a turnout as possible in future elections. A bit of work and investigation into that would be very helpful so that the trend of increased turnout can, I hope, continue.

I concur with what has been said. I am looking forward to working with the rest of the committee.
