I am the nasty convener here; I have my eye on the clock. We still have a number of questions to ask, so I ask for responses to be succinct, if that is okay.

That brings our first evidence session of the morning to an end. I thank you all for coming along this morning and for an interesting session. We will suspend to allow for a change of witnesses.

Okay, that is better. We will start again. Someone from the Parliament’s business information technology team is coming to check that everything is working.

I want to start by asking our witnesses to introduce themselves and to say which organisations they represent.

Is there anything that you want to pick up on, Ben?

Obviously, there will be some questions specifically about Gaelic and there will be some specifically about Scots, but if anyone wants to come in after a question has been directed to someone specific, please catch my eye. We have a lot to juggle because of the hybrid nature of today’s meeting.

We will move on to questions from Ruth Maguire.
