Good morning, cabinet secretary. In answer to Mr Bibby, you spoke about engagement with members of the House of Lords. Will you give an indication of how much engagement you received from Lord Callanan in advance of the statement that he made to the House of Lords, and whether he has offered time to engage with you as a Scottish minister to hear the Scottish Government’s concerns? What has the UK Government done proactively to propose intergovernmental engagement on these important matters, particularly considering the fact that Lord Callanan is well acquainted with the Scottish Government’s opposition to Brexit and concerns about issues relating to it?

Before we conclude, do any witnesses want to make any points that they have not been able to raise in response to questions? Have you covered everything that you wanted to convey?

There were several points to address there. Ms Green, I do not want you to feel that you are on the spot before the committee. If there are matters that you are uncertain about that you would like to clarify, given that you have already kindly agreed to follow up some points with written correspondence, you could make those clarifications then.
Mr Kerr, you have questions for our witnesses in Wales.

Sorry, if I may, the committee can follow up with the Government on those points, because those are questions for the Government.
