Thank you for attending, cabinet secretary. You may escape now.
That concludes our meeting. The next meeting of the committee will be on the morning of Wednesday 15 June, when we will hear from the new Scottish Biometrics Commissioner, Dr Brian Plastow, on his draft code of practice on the acquisition, retention, use and destruction of biometric data for criminal justice and police purposes in Scotland.

We move on to the next group. Amendment 1035, in the name of Pauline McNeill, is grouped with amendments 1005, 1006, 1036, 1007, 1010 and 1034. I remind members that, if amendment 1035 is agreed to, I cannot call amendments 1005, 1006, 1036, 1007 and 1010, due to pre-emption.

As no one else wants to come in, I thank the cabinet secretary. Please stay with us for a couple more minutes as we formally consider the LCM.
The committee will now formally consider the legislative consent memorandum on the Online Safety Bill. Do members wish to highlight any issues that they would like to have included in the committee’s report on the LCM? I see that they do not. That being the case, does the committee agree that the Scottish Parliament should give its consent to the relevant provision in the Online Safety Bill, as is set out in the Scottish Government’s draft motion?
Members indicated agreement.
