Convention Rights (Compliance) (Scotland) Act 2001 (Commencement) Order 2001 (SSI 2001/274)

No points arise on the order.

That concludes today's business. This is my final Subordinate Legislation Committee meeting and I thank past and present committee members for their assistance. I also thank the staff who have worked with the committee, in particular Alasdair Rankin and Margaret Macdonald. I could not have functioned without them and am grateful for their assistance. Indeed, it is an honour and a privilege to have worked with them.

The committee might not be the most glamorous in the Parliament, but it is important. I wish it well in the future.

As one of the original members of the committee, I thank the convener for the way in which he has convened the committee. He has always been fair and even-handed. I also thank him for his record-breaking attempts to get through the work. He has done so sometimes in less than three minutes, which takes something—particularly when he has done all the talking on the committee's behalf. The committee has appreciated his work.

I endorse what David Mundell said.

I wish committee members well. We will meet again in the chamber.

Meeting closed at 11:59.
