We might return to that this afternoon in another of my questions, but are we looking at before summer or after summer? Is there at least some kind of timescale for when we can look out for this information?

I have no question, but I refer again to the interest that I noted under a previous item.

Good morning and welcome. I hope that you are settling in and enjoying your new role. The committee and I look forward to working with you.

Following on from the convener’s question, have you previously or recently looked at passporting benefits and at how they interrelate with the DWP and the new Social Security Scotland? If not, is it something that you might want to look at in the future when you have time?

I have a question about the transparency, quality and timeliness of the information that you got from the Scottish Government. With previous reports, there had been an issue with getting all that information at the right time and in the right format. Was that an issue or were you happy with how information was provided to you?

Thank you. My final question is about the process. The committee was keen to look at taking a human rights approach to decision making and how that works. Is that something that the commission is looking at? Is taking a human rights approach one of the principles by which you judge these things? Moreover, do you also see that happening in the Scottish Government’s decision making?

I am grateful.

Following on from that answer, what factors influence the Scottish ministers in reaching a view on whether a power in a UK bill for UK ministers to legislate in devolved areas should be subject to a statutory requirement for Scottish ministers’ consent? Is there different thinking around that or is it the same thinking?

Again, following through on that, where powers for UK ministers in devolved areas fall outwith the scope of statutory instrument protocol 2, how will the Scottish Government facilitate scrutiny of the exercise of the powers in advance of those powers being exercised?

How long do you think the discussions will take?

No, no—that is why I asked about things from your perspective. Obviously, you have two parties that have to negotiate this—I appreciate that. However, from your previous experience, how long do you think that would take? Are we talking months, weeks or years?
