In that case, thank you for agreeing to take on the role. It makes sense as Christina is the convener of the European and External Relations Committee. The phrase “killing two birds with one stone” comes to mind.
Before we move into private session to consider the committee’s work programme, I point out that at our next meeting on 10 March we expect to hear a presentation from Sheffield Hallam University on its latest welfare reform research. We will also be looking at subordinate legislation on council tax reduction. In addition, we will take a second look at our work programme.
10:02 Meeting continued in private until 10:37.
