The code of practice will be developed with stakeholders, but how do they know what that code of practice looks like?

To date? Do you mean the frameworks in the bill?

But in Spain, even with rewetting peatlands, it has been found that wildfires will still occur, because of drought.

I note that, according to our papers,
“NFUS acknowledged the importance of having a framework for market support during crisis situations and expressed caution regarding the potential impact of the proposed changes on stability and confidence in various sectors.”
It also stated that
“the upcoming Agriculture Bill would provide adequate powers for Scottish Ministers to intervene when necessary.”
I am not minded to lodge a motion to annul, but, once again, we find ourselves in a situation in which a considerable body that represents quite a number of farmers is sharing its sense of caution with the committee. I seek your advice on the matter, convener.

My question has just been covered, but I would like to press David Lynn on the definition of an official investigation. If—as has happened, because we heard about it on Monday—a gamekeeper walks into a police station with a dead raptor, what happens? Does that become an official investigation?

Can I just clarify whether, in the inquiry, you talked about mixed-sex accommodation in hotels? I am just trying to link your thoughts. Do you believe that the integrated community accommodation would reduce the trafficking and exploitation? I do not have any detail on that and I was wondering whether it was just some aspiration or whether there was definitely evidence to suggest such a link. Do cultural integration and support from communities give women, in particular, the support that they need around them? Are there, say, people who are able to stop traffickers? Do you see what I mean? Did you find any link in that respect?

Is that temporary accommodation?
