Meeting date: 26 October 2022

But would it not lengthen things in your capital budget?

One of the other things that you mentioned was the impact of a reduction in use of body-worn cameras. Compared with what you do now, what impact would it have if you were to stop allowing police officers to wear those cameras?

John Thomson touched on the service’s inability to borrow, but, on the issue of the capital backlog, do you have the ability to lease premises instead of having to purchase them outright? If you did, that expense would be shown as revenue rather than capital on your balance sheet.

Good afternoon. Based on what you said in response to Jamie Greene’s questions, and notwithstanding the capital backlog that you are dealing with, the flat cash settlement is obviously going to have an impact on the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service’s ability to put more investment into your estate, as you touched on, into the fleet and into improvements to digital IT and whatnot.

Can you give us more detail about the significant impact of all that and the particular risks in certain areas of not upgrading or improving the current systems?

I have one question, which I always ask, and it is to do with the membership. It is an observation more than anything else. It is very welcome that it is an all-female membership, but, going forward, are you doing anything to try to attract male MSPs to the CPG?

I echo what everyone else has said. I know how passionate Emma Harper is about our Scots language. It is very welcome that we keep that going in Parliament, from a cultural and a Scots point of view. When the paper came to us, I welcomed it. As Bob Doris said, there appears to be a gap in the Parliament, and the group has a big welcome. I wish them guid luck.

On page 13, there is reference to short-life working group one, which is considering solutions. I am keen to get an update on the completion of that work.
