Chamber and committees

I am content.

Thanks. I will bring in my colleague Fulton MacGregor.

I can give you a little bit of leeway, Fulton.

Just before we conclude our formal business, I should say that members have indicated other lines of questioning. Are our witnesses content for us to write with any further questions?

Witnesses: Yes.

Thank you for that.

Before you proceed, Rachael Hamilton has indicated that she would like to follow up on that.

Thank you for those opening statements. We will go straight to questions. I intend to allow around 75 minutes for the session but will grant some flexibility. We have many areas to explore, so I would welcome succinct questions and answers as far as possible.

It will have to be a very small question, with very succinct answers.

I will return to Maggie to finish her line of questioning.

Reference has been made to the Scottish Government’s pilot of independent child trafficking guardians, the aim of which is to tackle child trafficking. Anyone who is under 18 who is suspected of being a victim, and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, will be given a guardian. What is your experience of that?
