Section 23 Report: “New vessels for the Clyde and Hebrides: Arrangements to deliver vessels 801 and 802”
Meeting date: 4 November 2022

It might have been an inadvertent formatting error, but it excluded the two most significant paragraphs in that letter.
Let me turn to another point—

But we asked Transport Scotland to disclose that letter—that correspondence—and it gave us a version that was not even redacted, but severely edited.

On that note, First Minister, I thank you for your time this morning, and for the interaction that you have had with the committee; it is greatly appreciated. We have identified a number of areas where it would be useful to follow up to try to seek further particulars, and I am sure that the clerks and your office will be able to co-ordinate that. We hope that that will then add to the scrutiny record that the committee has and inform any report that we produce.
Thank you, once again, First Minister. I now draw the public part of this morning’s meeting to a close.

Will you get back to us with a reflection on the items that I listed and tell us which of them were considered at Cabinet level and what form that took?

If the workforce is not culpable—as I agree with you that it is not—who do you think is culpable?

Okay. I turn to Graham Simpson. Maybe he has some hard questions to ask in the final few minutes that we have left.

“Tackling child poverty”
Meeting date: 6 October 2022
Richard Leonard
Colin, I am afraid that we are running out of time, so I will have to move things on. The clock is against us. Thanks for your questions. If there is time, I would bring you back in, but I think that that will be very unlikely.
Craig Hoy has the final area of questioning.

That is helpful. We will come to questions on the local government and health board data collection and reporting mechanism. At this point, Sharon Dowey has a few questions to put to you.
