Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee

Environmental Regulation

Meeting date: 25 October 2022

Edward Mountain

I am sorry—there are two Marks. That is confusing. I thank Mark Roberts for answering that question and Mark Ruskell for confirming that he is finished.

I think that there is a slight delay with BlueJeans at the moment, which is showing in our WhatsApp as well. Jo, I do not know whether you heard that question, but you are under the microscope now.

I am happy about that—and thank you, Jim, for saying that you are not an investigative arm of the committee. That is useful to know.

Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee

Cross-Party Group

Meeting date: 6 October 2022

Edward Mountain

You are convinced that you have enough time, with all your parliamentary commitments, to do it.

Cross-Party Group

Meeting date: 6 October 2022

Edward Mountain

I put the same question to Emma Harper. We share the chairing of another cross-party group.

Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee

Cross-Party Group

Meeting date: 6 October 2022

Edward Mountain

I have never disagreed with any of the cross-party groups—it would be a brave MSP who did so. However, I always like to put on record that the number of cross-party groups in the Parliament is huge, and I question in my mind whether all MSPs have enough time to meet all their cross-party group commitments. I will not vote against it—I will vote for it. However, I have that real concern, which might be borne out when you see the reports from the cross-party groups, when they come in—on time, possibly, although they do not always. I will leave that question hanging.
