Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee [Draft]

Gaza

Meeting date: 26 June 2025

Stephen Kerr

I accept the cabinet secretary’s point that we do not know how every single penny is going to be spent, and that we have to have trust that the organisations are running their affairs—

That is not correct; Egypt controls the Rafah crossing.

Do you know how much of the nearly £1.5 million that the Scottish Government has given to trusted partners such as DEC and UNRWA, has been spent and what it has been spent on? Do they come back to you and give you a breakdown? Can you avail us of the information that you have?

For clarification, the cabinet secretary was handed a piece of paper that informed him that Israel was controlling the other side of the Rafah crossing, but, as of the end of January, under the ceasefire arrangements that were agreed with Hamas, the IDF withdrew from the Rafah crossing.

We are going a very long way round the houses. I am grateful for the frankness in the cabinet secretary’s reply.

I am sorry, but I have one more question.

UEFA European Championship (Scotland) Bill

Meeting date: 26 June 2025

Stephen Kerr

Do you understand the point that I am making? When it comes to touting, the territorial aspect is irrelevant, because much of it will be done online—

Therefore, would it not have been better to have taken a United Kingdom-wide view on touting so that a single standard law would have been applied to all parts of the United Kingdom?
