Are members content to delegate responsibility to me and the clerks to approve a short factual report to the Parliament on the affirmative instrument?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you for that.

Perhaps I could come to Ms Medhurst on the information-sharing agreement, which was flagged at our evidence session last week. Kate Wallace from Victim Support Scotland said that she was concerned that the agreement had not yet been shared. Is there any update on that?

Thank you, cabinet secretary. Do members have any brief additional remarks that they wish to make on the SSI?

I invite the cabinet secretary to wind up and to say whether she wishes to press or withdraw the motion.

Yes.

I remind members to be respectful in their questioning.

Cabinet secretary, would you like to add to that?

I will come back to you, Katy. I would like everybody to come in with at least one or two questions, and then we will go back around.

I will come back to members who really want to come in, but we are up to time and a couple of members would still like to come in. I ask the witnesses whether they are fine with staying on for a little bit longer.

Witnesses indicated agreement.

Okay. There are some important questions that members are very interested to ask. I will bring in Rona Mackay, then Jackie Dunbar.
