PE999, which was submitted by Jim Milne on behalf of Dundee Anti-Poverty Forum, calls on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Government to review the school clothing grant system. Members have papers on the petition. I understand that the Government is reviewing school clothing grants. If that is the case, we should close the petition. When the results of the review are announced there will be a chance to discuss the issue in the appropriate parliamentary committee and in the chamber.

The Scottish Government is aware of the petition, but we should ascertain whether the petitioner can be consulted as part of the review, given his interest in the matter.

The clerk tells me that the individual who brought the petition is a member of the working group that is involved in the review. He will not have a better chance than that to influence the outcome.Okay. I take it that the committee accepts the approach to PE999.
