I know that we are tight for time, convener, but I am interested in the issue of regulation and the link with public health, which we have already discussed and which Professor Banks has talked about.

Under the marketing theme, we talked about the industry’s heavy influence. I want to be clear about where we in the Scottish Parliament are and should be going on public health. Are you aware of undue influence from the tobacco companies or similar companies on our public health intentions?

Is it helpful to think and talk about minimum unit pricing as part of a package of public health measures that aim to change the direction in this country away from alcohol harm?

Thank you very much.

I am interested in the right of the child to a family life, because we can all imagine this subordinate legislation having an effect on that. How can we ensure that young people who are in that situation have that right? Does the legislation comply with the provisions in the European Convention on Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child regarding the right to a family life and support for legal agency?

Thank you very much for the evidence. I am interested in the various income groups. Early on, there were concerns about MUP disproportionately affecting low-income groups and, on the other side, whether it would have an impact on people in more affluent areas.

I am interested to get clarity on the current pricing. For MUP to work, do we need to increase the price? Will it continue to have the same broad effects on those groups or do we have any concerns about it disproportionately affecting lower-income groups because of the other crises in income that people face?

Given the complexities of the young people and the amount of support that would be required to maintain family contact, does it seem realistic that that could be maintained?

I will turn to Lilian Macer if she is okay to come in. The point has been made that we are stuck in discussions. Is there anything that we could recommend should happen now?

I know that Cara Stevenson wants to come back in, but is there a way of providing for sectoral bargaining across all areas—in the public, private and third sectors—now and in the future through the bill?

So, the key message is that action can happen now.

I have another question, which is for Dave Moxham. I am interested in the minister’s observation that only 19 per cent of the workforce is unionised. Is there anything that might help to increase union membership in the sector, which we know is dominated by female workers? We want to make the maximum improvement to terms and conditions, because we know that that would change social care for the good in the longer term.

Good morning. I am interested in having a discussion about fair work and sectoral bargaining. The Minister for Social Care, Mental Wellbeing and Sport has indicated that she has met trade unions to discuss those matters. Could you give us some feedback on your view of the discussions so far?
