It is suggested that we draw the Parliament's attention to the Executive's full and helpful response as providing the required explanation. The lead committee can act on that recommendation as it wishes.

Fergus Ewing:

As we reach the last of these Executive responses, I want to say how refreshing it is for the Executive to apologise openly for so many errors on so many occasions. Anyone who says that politics means never having to say that you are sorry should read through the report of this committee meeting. I hope that the Executive's example is taken up elsewhere.

By all parties.

I was actually thinking of ministers, but certainly all parties should follow that example.
