The final item is consideration of the draft annual report, which members have. As I explained, David Mundell's report on the Sydney conference will be referred to in a preamble to the annual report. It will say that, in the course of the year, the Subordinate Legislation Committee was represented by David Mundell, the clerk and the legal adviser at the international conference in Sydney, and that because the conference did not happen in the period to which this year's annual report refers, next year's annual report will have a full report on it.
No.
That is adopted.
As it is David Mundell's last meeting before he sails off into the sunset of legislation, I suggest that we say farewell officially to him.
It is my last meeting and I thank particularly the clerking staff, Alasdair Rankin and our legal adviser, Margaret Macdonald, for their help and support. I have conveyed my thanks to our previous convener, Mr MacAskill. I wish Margo MacDonald all the best in her new role. I wish Ian Jenkins and Bristow Muldoon the best of luck in completing the course. I got to Becher's Brook the second time round, but I am sure that one of them will make it to the finishing line.
Even in my short time here I know how invaluable you have been, David, in the committee. I say genuinely that all of us will miss you greatly.
I am sure that Mr Fraser will be an able substitute.
He had better be. With that, I thank you.
Meeting closed at 12:16.
