Annual Reports
Thank you. I confirm that the annual reports are agreed to. The clerks will make minor revisions to the statistics and any other relevant factual information prior to publication in due course. I take this opportunity to thank all the stakeholders who have participated in the work of the committee, in particular, from my point of view, the long Covid people who came in under great difficulty—some of them were clearly struggling. I want to single them out, as their participation greatly benefited our consideration and scrutiny of the issues relating to Covid and to recovery. I thank the current and former members of the committee for the collegiate way in which they have undertaken their scrutiny. At the height of the pandemic, it was of great benefit to the Parliament to have a dedicated committee to scrutinise the relevant legislation and our transition to a recovery period. It will now be for the other subject committees to take forward the scrutiny of Covid recovery as it relates to their remits, and we will make recommendations on that when we come to consider our legacy report. Do any members wish to make any other remarks before we conclude this agenda item?
