We have been asked to nominate a committee member for the European Parliament familiarisation programme, which, given the earlier item on today's agenda, may be helpful. There is a short familiarisation programme for a group of committee conveners and/or members, which is likely to take place next spring. We do not yet have a date for it, so we do not know how it will mesh in with other commitments. I do not think that we even know how many days it will last. Is anyone interested in going?
Would not it be appropriate for you, as convener, to attend?
Okay. I am happy with that. Could we also nominate a reserve? I am conscious that I may be committing myself to something without knowing its date or duration.
In the event of your unavailability, would not it be best to make our reserve our deputy convener?
Are you happy with that, Gordon—if not ecstatic?
That is fine. I may push you under a bus, Alasdair.
It is the only goodie that has come our way.
Indeed. I am sure that there are attractions.
Every other committee has been on exciting visits, and where did we go? Barlinnie.
I am sure that Brussels is not all that different.
It has got to be better than Barlinnie.
Order, order.
