Tim Eagle (Highlands and Islands) (Con)

I just want to draw to the committee’s attention an issue relating to Scottish statutory instrument 2024/218. Although I have no problems with the SSI, a 62.5 per cent increase in cost, from £5 million to £8 million, is predicted, and I wonder whether it is worth flagging that to the lead committee. Although the cost is spread over a broad base, it is important that we look at that, ultimately, for those who have to pay it.

Is everyone content that we raise that with the lead committee?

Members indicated agreement.

Notwithstanding that, is the committee content with the instruments?
