I am mindful of the time. I allowed an extra few minutes to compensate for our technical difficulties, but we have reached the end of our brief but productive session. I thank you all for your time.

Thank you. I have a follow-up question. What support is the Scottish Government offering to colleges to enable them to achieve their net zero targets?

If it is all right, I will stick with Graeme Dey, as he wanted to explore the issue of ONS classification. I think that Ruth Maguire also wants to come in on that.

I am all for robust discussion and scrutiny, but it is not helpful to anybody to have two people talking at the same time. Minister, can I take it that you have finished for now? I will allow Mr Marra to come back in.

We will move swiftly on to cover university finances. It is a short session, but I am prepared to allow a wee bit of time for this. Ruth Maguire will kick off and Michael Marra will come in after that.

Our next item of business is consideration of a consent notification relating to the European University Institute (EU Exit) Regulations 2022, which is European Union exit legislation. I refer members to paper 6 in their packs. Do members have any comments to make on the notification? Are members content with the Scottish Government’s decision to consent to the provisions that are set out in the notification being included in United Kingdom rather than Scottish subordinate legislation?
Members indicated agreement.

The public part of today’s meeting is at an end. The committee will consider its final agenda items in private.
As that was the first time that I have substituted for the convener, I thank everyone for their help and support. I wish Pam Gosal, who also attended, the best with the rest of her day.

Quite a few members want to come in with supplementaries. I will take them in the order that I saw them. I hope that we can get them all in, if they are succinct with their questions.
