The next petition is PE1553, by Councillor Andrew S Wood, on rendering industry regulations. Members have a note by the clerk and the submissions.

The petition seems to have done its job. It has helped to concentrate minds and I am glad that the committee has played its part in that. It seems that the Dundas Chemical Company is on board with regard to discussions with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and DEFRA, and this is a reasonably quick result for a petition, given that it is not long since we were in Dumfries and Galloway. It is good to see things moving forward at a pace. I would be content to close the petition, while continuing to monitor progress in the background.

I concur. I think that this is a good result for the Public Petitions Committee. The problem has been highlighted and we have been able to resolve it quickly. Do members agree to close the petition?

Members indicated agreement.
