I cannot give that information off the top of my head, but I can get back to the committee in writing. Obviously, I am performing without a net today—I have only a couple of officials with me. I will get that information to the committee as soon as possible.

The data will be that which is already on NHS Scotland about their double vaccination. That is it. It is a QR code and no data will go back and forth. It is the equivalent of a green tick to show that the person has been double vaccinated.

I will need to get back to you on that. I do not think so, but I would need to double check.

The best way to explain it is that it will be very similar to what happens at modern football matches. That is my interpretation. There is effectively a barcode or QR code with your ticket, and you put it through the turnstile to get access and go through. There are hand-held devices that are available to do that.

That technology is already used regularly to do that with information. When that happens at a football game, nobody’s data is transferred over, other than what is held, if it is a season ticket, by the club itself.

We aim continually to analyse and prioritise the legislative programme, taking into account the Scottish Government’s legal and policy capacity and the Parliament’s scrutiny capacity. That has helped us to avoid having to continuously stop and restart the legislative programme and avoid peaks and troughs. As you will be aware, we tend generally not to put too many SSIs through the system at the one time, to ensure that it balances out over the period. This committee would be extremely busy if we just did them all at the one time.

Yes, I do, because I do not want to see Graeme Dey ever getting the better of me.

I do not have that level of detail with me today. I would be happy to talk to officials and get back to you on that.

As I said, I am happy to have an open dialogue. A lot of the work that we will do together is stuff on which we should be able to get the process right and just do it.

I do not know about my officials, because they have not been here today.

We could probably come back to you with the detail of the position.

To take an example, in its letter, the SLC mentioned trust law. I understand that the Minister for Community Safety will shortly write to Lady Paton about a bill on that, so we will be able to take that forward. I think that it is reasonable for the committee to infer a reference to the SLC’s trust law report in the programme for government.

I am going round in circles here but, all in all, I am trying to say that I am taking seriously the need to find a way forward. As Minister for Parliamentary Business, I am not too keen on there being too many members’ bills kicking about, because I am trying to manage the five-year programme. If we can find a way to manage the SLC commitments that we have made and look at some of the other stuff, we will do what we can.

As the convener said, the numbers are not as bad over the period, although some reports are always left.
