We move to petition PE147 on a meeting between the Sheltered Retirement Housing Owners Confederation and ministers. It is a curious petition.Let us be clear about the procedure. Members will have seen the clerk's recommendation. We can discuss the petition if we need to and will then move to a decision on the recommendation and to any other proposals. Can I have a general indication of members' views?

We move to PE209 on elderly care and South Ayrshire Council. We will have a general discussion and then decide on the clerk's recommendation, which is the same as for petition PE195, which we discussed last week.
