 | CPPG:Scotland Inaugural Minutes | The chair noted that this initial meeting had been convened in order to establish a new CPG in Session 6. The invitation to join had been issued to all MSPs as well as members of the
Session 5 CPGs on Rail and on Cycling, Walking & Buses. The new CPG still has to be approved by the Parliament, but he was confident that it would be confirmed. The chair was
keen that this should not be a ‘talking shop’ as there was considerable concern about lack of progress in previous groups.
The chair proposed the following Purpose for the CPG:
“To raise the profile of sustainable transport, with a particular focus on cross-modal issues, within the Scottish Parliament, and to promote policies and priorities relating to sustainable
transport.” | Cppg Sustainable Transport |
