Jim Fairlie has a short supplementary question.

Jim Fairlie has a short supplementary.

Elaine, would you like to respond to those questions?

Thank you. We discussed the issue this morning and took a decision. We have heard the point three times already. Time is very short, and I do not think that the point needed to be put on the record again.

We have come to the end of the session, as there are no more questions. There will be a brief suspension until 10:30 for a changeover of witnesses.

Yes—that would be helpful.

We will kick off with Bally Philp and then go to Elaine Whyte.

Okay. Thank you.

Mercedes Villalba has a supplementary question.

Ariane Burgess has a question.

Thank you very much for your time. Your evidence will help our consideration.

At our next meeting, the committee will take evidence from the cabinet secretary on, and consider, the Sea Fish (Prohibition on Fishing) (Firth of Clyde) Order 2022 and consider the Red Rocks and Longay Urgent Marine Conservation (No 2) Order 2021 (Urgent Continuation) Order 2022. We will also consider two statutory instrument consent notifications for the Organics (Derogations) (Amendment) Regulations 2022 and the Ivory Prohibitions (Civil Sanctions) Regulations 2022, as well as a draft report on the Good Food Nation (Scotland) Bill.
