Chamber and committees

Thank you; that is helpful. As you said, if it is a good process for young people, it will be a better process for everybody anyway.

Ellie, do you echo the calls for further information around the role of the registrar general and the resources and support that will be available? Do you have any comments?

This question follows on from what you were saying a moment ago. The bill also provides for a person who has an interest to ask the sheriff to revoke a GRC. What is NUS Scotland’s position on that? Does that give you concerns? I will come to Bruce Adamson after Ellie Gomersall.

Good morning, both, and thank you for joining us this morning.

Can you describe some of the issues that are being faced by different sports that try to balance trans inclusion with fairness and safety? What issues do they have to wrangle with? How do different sports come to their decisions?

I will start with Malcolm Dingwall-Smith and then come to Hugh Torrance.

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I would have voted yes.

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. My app crashed, but I would have voted no.

Good morning. Thank you for joining us.

Pauline Smith mentioned community wealth building. As you will be aware, the Scottish Government has committed to introducing a community wealth building bill. I know that legislation does not solve all problems, but what do you see as the opportunities in that around generating the incentives that you were talking about, building social capital and supporting community development? Will you tell us a bit about the opportunities in such legislation and what the risks are if we get it wrong?

Dr Orr, we are talking about creating liveable, vibrant and thriving town centres that support the communities that live in and around them. What are the opportunities in legislation for community wealth building?

Martin, what opportunities are there to drive community enterprise and engagement through legislation?

That is really helpful. There is something about culture in that.

That is really helpful. Ian Buchannan, what support should ideally be made available for people with disabilities who want to start or grow their business?
