Before we move on to the private part of the meeting, I will say a few things, as this is the final meeting of this parliamentary session. I will deal with the MSPs in the first instance. I thank past and present committee members—it has been a privilege to work with you all. Bill Kidd is standing down and retiring, but four of us are, once again, putting our futures in the hands of the public, and I thank the other three of you. We have worked well together as a team and in a collegiate fashion. You have certainly made my job that bit easier as convener of the committee, and I wish you well in the upcoming election.Bill Kidd is the deputy convener, and he and I were elected in 2007. It has been a bit of a journey. I thank him not just for his engagement in the committee but for being a good friend and colleague. I wish you well in your retirement, Bill.
