We move to agenda item 2 and PE1069, which again has been referred to the committee for comment. Do members have any comments on the petition?

I have a similar comment to my previous one. Homeworking should be part of mainstreaming. People with disabilities could take advantage of homeworking, as could other people with caring responsibilities. I agree with the recommendations in the paper.

If there are no further comments, are we happy to note the recommendations in our paper? The Public Petitions Committee might wish to monitor the outcome of the meeting on reserved contracts and public procurement.Members indicated agreement.
