Thank you. I am just looking around the room to see if members want to ask any other questions. If not, I will draw the session to a close. Is there anything else that we have not covered this morning about the bill or the police complaints system that you think it is important that the committee knows about? Do you have any final thoughts?

I know that it is very difficult not to refer to your own experience, but I wonder if I can move you on. There are a number of other questions that we would like to ask.

I will have to come in and draw things to a close. We are running slightly over time. I know that we could probably sit here for the rest of the morning.

Thank you very much indeed.

Maggie, I will open with a general question about the police complaints system. What do you think should be changed about the system, based on your experience?

I want to ask you about the proposals for a duty of candour for Police Scotland. A duty of candour for officers and staff relates to their being truthful, candid and co-operative in proceedings. Do you think that the proposal is sufficient for you to have confidence that police officers will co-operate with investigations, including those carried out against or in relation to other officers?
