         <title>Controversial bookings: Common Knowledge</title>
-       <p></p>
+       <p>HT reported that following the cancellation of the Common Knowledge 13
+April booking on the subject of vaccination, we received
+concerned queries from several Friends about their meeting scheduled for 11 May,
+entitled "Censorsing Debate&mdash;Marie Mamulova &amp; Lisa Randall",
+about their struggle to have a meeting last year, in Portobello, about their concerns
+regarding teaching about trans-gender issues in schools.</p>
+        <p>After extensive consultation within this Committee, also
+involving AM
+Clerk and the Clerk of AM Trustees, agreement was reached
+in two stages:</p>
+<list type="enum">
+ <item>Because there had been security problems with the original
+(Portobello) meeting, MG contacted the Community Policing unit and on 28 April HT and
+MG met with two police, who were reassuring both about the fact that
+they did keep an eye on potential sources of trouble in such cases,
+and that they make sure local patrols were aware of the 11 May meeting
+if it went ahead.</item>
+<item> We asked for and
+received reassurance that the
+meeting would be focussed on freedom of speech and that a statement setting out our expectations could
+be made by the AM Clerk at the beginning of the meeting.</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>We then agreed to allow the meeting to go ahead, with the two
+Clerks in attendance.</p>
+ <p>HT emailed the Friends who had expressed concern explaining our decision.</p>
+        <p>In the event there was no disturbance from protesters, but
+the Clerks did not feel that the agreement to avoid anti-transgender
+topics and rhetoric had been respected.</p>
