I call Pam Duncan-Glancy.

Okay. That is fine. I do not know why it was not right to do it the day that the exam results came out. That is the bit that I am struggling to understand.

Finally—because a lot of other members want to come in—the cabinet secretary mentioned the article in the TES last night, authored by the SQA’s principal assessor for higher history and senior team leader for higher history. It is a great defence of you, Ms Robertson. Is it only a coincidence that it came out the night before you were appearing before this committee?

Surely the point is less about the questions than it is about what you allocate marks for. Is that not where the concerns have come? You asked for things this year that previously have not been requested.

That is understandable, but I think that what people have trouble with—

I am sorry, but we need to move on.

And consider?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I will bring in the cabinet secretary.

Do you believe that the report is the end of the matter, and that there is nothing further for you to do? I know that a study with the Scottish Association of the Teachers of History will conclude at the end of the week. At the moment, are you telling the committee that you are content with the findings of the report and the way in which the matter has been handled by Ms Robertson and the SQA?

Okay. Thank you.
