You have a majority in Parliament, so I understand why you are confident that the bill will pass.

Boris Johnson is an interesting example to call on. That is a highly contentious thing to say, frankly.

I call Oliver Mundell, to be followed by Stephanie Callaghan, who will conclude our session.

Thank you.

Thank you. I turn to Michael Marra.

After all, the Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland says that your Government is responsible for

“conditions for children in prison”

being

“in breach not only of the UNCRC, but also the prohibition on torture, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment in terms of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights”.

I would have thought that that would be quite a call to action from the commissioner. Do you agree?

Our next item of business is further consideration of subordinate legislation. Do members have any comments on the regulations?

Did you grab the point that Willie Rennie was making? It is admirable that we are talking about this kind of stuff right now, but it is not necessary for it to be in the legislation. It can all be ready on a shelf, and we can pull it down off that shelf.

We are not talking about the situation that occurred in March 2020; we are talking about a different situation. We are talking about using the benefit of the experiences that we have all lived through to make law that is appropriate in the moment of a crisis. However, you are putting the measures that currently exist into permanency, which surely is not sensible, given the criteria of the human rights discussion that we are having.

Very short, please.

I think that all those words mean that it is a call to action.
