Is it agreed that we write to the Minister for Justice? Agreed. The clerk has picked up on the specific points.

I acknowledge the work that has been done, particularly during the Covid pandemic. There was a good relationship between prisoners and prison staff on this, which certainly helped in establishing a model in relation to how to contain the virus.

I thank the witnesses for joining us and for the information provided for today's meeting. I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General for attending and assisting the committee today.

Is it agreed that we request the clerk to seek any follow-up information required and carry out any agreed actions arising from the meeting? Agreed. Is it agreed that we note and publish the opening statements and briefing material provided for today's meeting? Agreed.
