I gave evidence to the Public Petitions Committee on the issue of young people’s participation in youth football and the issues linked to the involvement of professional football clubs. I shared the session with Shona Robison, Minister for Public Health and Sport, the Chief Executives of the SFA and SPL, and the Directors of Youth Development from Rangers and Celtic football clubs. It was a lively session which was covered in the press and I expect this issue to go further, subject to the deliberations of the Committee.
I attended a meeting of the local branch of the Howard League of Penal Reform. The Howard League are organising an event later in the month and I expect to take part in this.
