I am sure that my good friend Robert Halfon would be pleased to hear from you and others.
As no one wants to say anything else, I thank Nick Hobbs and Maria Galli for being with us in person to give that important evidence to the committee. We wish you a very pleasant rest of the day.

Okay. That is fair enough. I will accept your list on that basis and we will look to revisit that in due course.
I thank not only the cabinet secretary but also Graeme Logan and Alison Taylor for joining us this morning. We wish you a very good day. I will suspend the meeting for five minutes to allow a change of witnesses.

Good morning, and welcome to the Education, Children and Young People Committee’s 14th meeting in 2022. The first item on our agenda is our final evidence session in our Scottish attainment challenge inquiry. I welcome Shirley-Anne Somerville MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills, and Graeme Logan, director of learning, and Alison Taylor, deputy director for improvement, attainment and wellbeing, both with the Scottish Government. Good morning to you all.
Cabinet secretary, I invite you to make a brief opening statement of up to five minutes.

No—not how much has been allocated, but what it has been spent on.

Is it fair to say that you do not know how that money has been spent?

Is it unfair of me to say that you do not know how that £1 billion has been spent? That is, in effect, what your answer was. How can you measure whether it has been spent effectively, with outcomes?
