We heard what I consider to be an excellent speech from Robert Brown, who gave a tight analysis of developments in the voluntary sector, as did Elaine Murray.
Underneath that, we need to start working towards a low-carbon industrial policy for Scotland that recognises not only the levers in Scotland, but the key levers that remain at UK level. Thank you. Does Vivienne Brown have any last points? I thank you all very much.
The answer is similar to the one that I gave to Robert Brown. If a person is acting for a public authority, they are at present subject to the prohibitions.
Yes, I have submitted a written complaint to the Home Office, as have Anne McGuire and Keith Brown. It is basically just tough. That is why I wanted to raise awareness of the situation.
I am not making a plea for that, because now that Keith Brown and I are both back on the Committee of the Regions we get opportunities to go to Brussels monthly at least.The recommendation in the paper is sensible and complementary.
