May I stop you there, Bill? I am keen to hear from Chris as well.

I appreciate that Chris has not come in for a while. Do you want to have your final say on that, Chris?

Thank you very much. That brings us to the end of our scrutiny session today. I thank the witnesses very much for joining us. We have discussed a wide-ranging and important topic, and I am sorry that we were so tight for time. I know that Roz McCall had a question about the concept of the wellbeing economy that she was not able to ask. If the witnesses want to put forward any written submissions after we leave here today, I would be happy to receive them.

Again, I thank the witnesses very much. We will now end the session.

Yes—that was the right choice. Thanks, James.

I will bring in Paul O’Kane for the last question.

Thank you.

Roz McCall would like to come in.

The next question is for Alison Hosie. Given the constrained fiscal framework, to what extent would you prioritise making further above-inflation increases to the Scottish child payment?

We move to questions from Jeremy Balfour.

Fiona Collie would like to come in on that.

Thank you, Fiona. That is really helpful.

We have come to the end of our questions. I thank all our witnesses for taking part and sharing their expertise. I suspend the meeting to allow the witnesses to leave and to allow us to set up for our next item of business. Thank you very much for joining us today.
