Justice Sub-Committee on Policing (Report Back)
I do not know whether John wanted to come back in there, but I know that we are about to move into private session. Convener, in the absence of Rona Mackay, who I am sure would have been piping up at this stage, I want to put on the record my gratitude, and that of my committee colleagues, for your convenership of the Justice Committee. I know that it has not been a long tenure, but it has certainly covered some fairly thorny issues. The way in which you have assisted the committee and colleagues to navigate our way through those has been greatly appreciated. Thank you very much indeed. “Retirement” would not be the appropriate word; we wish you the best of luck in your own move towards the next phase and the next challenge.
