Thank you, Bill. I know that Mhairi Wylie wants to come in, but first I will bring in Artemis Pana, given that she was mentioned in the question.

Thank you, Charis. That is very interesting. I do not know whether you can answer this question for those who access Parliament, but has it felt more your Parliament over the past 18 months because of that access to a wider group of MSPs than was previously the case?

Thank you. Mhairi, you have probably come from as far afield as anyone. How has the experience of the interaction over the past 18 months been for you?

You should never feel guilty about demanding that your MSPs do work—do not worry about that.
Kimberly Somerside, what has your experience been over the past 18 months?

I know that a lot has been covered, but is there anything that Sue Webber wants to ask about?

Thank you for that. The phrase “just ask them” should apply not just to young people but to everyone.
Thank you all for attending—both those who are using the hybrid format and those who are attending in person. I have found it a very positive meeting. I am glad that the technology stood up—people of my generation always have the fear that it will fall over. If there is anything that subsequently comes to your mind, please feel free to write to us. Our inquiry is on-going but we are moving to the stage where we will be considering our conclusions.
I close the public part of the meeting.
