Petition PE496, from Mr George McAulay, called on the Parliament to investigate the Scottish Executive's handling of its recent domestic abuse advertising strategy. When the committee discussed the matter some time ago, a number of members expressed concern that, in spite of the small-scale distribution, the original videos, which contained the phrase "constant threat", might still be in use in schools, even though it had been accepted that that wording was unacceptable. We agreed to urge the Executive to consider withdrawing the original campaign videos.We have received the Executive's response, which indicates that it has asked for the videos to be withdrawn. Therefore, it is suggested that we agree to copy the Executive's latest response to the petitioner and to take no further action. Is that agreed?Members indicated agreement.
