That would be helpful.

Given where the discussion has just gone, I invite Jackie Dunbar to come back in for a moment.

As always when I sit in this chair, I am conscious of the time. Is the Scottish Government in a position to furnish the committee with examples from overseas? You made reference to that. Is that evidence in a form that could be provided to assist the committee in understanding best practice at an international level, such as in the role of the Venice commission? I am conscious of the 2015 report, which would make us an outlier across the European Union, certainly. Would that be feasible?

I hand you over to the gentle hands of Oliver Mundell to open the questioning.

It adopts the same test—“reasonably practicable”.

I am asking who will make that call in Scotland for councils and the Scottish Parliament.

My final question in this section is on the maximum fine for a breach of electoral law, which should be increased. The bill is silent on that. Where are we on increasing fines to make them more appropriate for dealing with a concerted effort to breach electoral law?

The fine would be for an electoral offence in relation to the UK election, would it not?

So, the offence would not be an offence, because the limit changed, which is because the campaign periods overlap.

It is doing that rather than having groups potentially bringing forward pilots. That is helpful.

I am conscious of the time.
