Chamber and committees

I will bring in Dr Hateley now. I see that Ms Hesketh-Laird wants to come in, too.

I think that our discussion has covered our three themes. Before I ask a question about levelling up and the Scottish Government, however, Mr Ruskell has a question.

Ms Hesketh-Laird, I know that you want to come back in, but could you pick up your point in your answers to subsequent questions from the committee? I will move to questions from Dr Allan.

Julie Hesketh-Laird has already addressed that. Does anyone else want to—

When you mentioned the border, did you mean the Northern Irish protocol border or did you mean different regulatory areas?

I think that everybody’s views have been aired, so unless anyone has anything more to add, we will move on to questions from Mr Cameron.

I think that committee members have exhausted their questions.

I thank everyone for attending. It has been a really interesting and engaging session, and I echo members’ thanks for all the written submissions that you provided as evidence prior to today’s meeting.

The committee will now move into private session.

I have two members who want to come in as well as a possible supplementary question, so if everyone could be as succinct as possible, that would be helpful.

That is helpful. In that case, I will take a very quick question from Jenni Minto.

Thank you, cabinet secretary. I am very conscious of your time, so I will just thank you and your officials for attending. The committee might have a couple of follow-up questions that we were unable to get to today, but we will decide on that in private session, which we will now move into.
