The Citizens’ Assembly meetings planned for 27-29 March and 24-26 April have been postponed in line with the new public health measures announced yesterday on coronavirus.
This decision was taken by the Convener on the advice of the Assembly Secretary and after consulting a reference group of Assembly members.
The Cabinet Secretary for Constitution, Europe and External Affairs, on behalf of the Scottish Government, supports this decision.
The Assembly will reconvene to complete its work as soon as it is safe to do so. In the meantime, urgent consideration is being given to how the work of the Assembly can continue through digital activity.
We have informed our members and will continue to communicate with them regularly. We have not taken this decision lightly, but the health and wellbeing of all Assembly members is our top priority and it is important to provide as much certainty as we can in these difficult times.
Best wishes,
Citizens’ Assembly of Scotland Secretariat
