Chamber and committees

Thank you. I call Evelyn Tweed, to be followed by Kevin Stewart.

Thank you. I call Kevin Stewart, to be followed by Colin Beattie.

Could I ask the other panel witnesses to be brief in reply to this question as Gordon McGuinness has covered a lot of the issues from SDS.

Thank you. That is helpful.

I have a question for Gordon McGuinness. We expect an updated climate emergency skills action plan by the end of the year. Is that still the timescale? What can we expect to be in it?

We will come back to issues of skills and the numbers and progress that has been made in that area. I go to Mia McCarthy on the just transition. Is there a shared understanding of what it means? How will we know whether it is being delivered?

Gordon McGuinness, do you think that there is a shared understanding of the definition of just transition? How do we measure whether we are being successful?

Maggie, will you comment on the definitions and how we will know whether a just transition is being delivered?

If it is brief. Kevin Stewart still wants to ask questions.

We are very pressed for time.

We have already heard some evidence on planning. If there is anything else that the witnesses would like to give us in addition to what has already been said on the record, we would happily receive it.

I thank the witnesses for giving us their time this morning. You have been very generous with your time.

I suspend the meeting briefly for a changeover of witnesses.
