David Page, can you be a national as well as a local organisation?

Meeting date: 30 May 2023

John Mason

Yes. I certainly agree with that.

I will have to ask people to be brief because we are running out of time.

Can you share data with those other organisations?

Chris Kerr, you have not spoken as yet. I invite you to come in on this, as yours is a relatively small organisation. Is that fair to say?

Collaboration with whom?

Meeting date: 30 May 2023

John Mason

We might touch on that later. I noted that your submission says that some activities are being paused or stopped. Can you say anything about that? How did you decide on those activities?

That is helpful. Michelle Thomson has a question.

Economy and Fair Work Committee

Consumer Scotland

Meeting date: 24 May 2023

John Mason

As I am a substitute member of the committee, I am perhaps less familiar with some of this than some of my colleagues. It is interesting, however, that, having listened to the questions, I am in some of the same space. The question that I was going to ask you was, if you had not existed for the past year, what would the difference be? However, I am also open to hearing from you that that is an unfair question and that I should really wait 10 years and then perhaps ask what difference you have made. Is that an unfair question?
