I would also like to thank the Ombudsman. I do not see any other Members wishing to speak. I thank both of the witnesses for attending virtually today. I hope that, as we go down the road, they will be able to visit us in person. The discussion has been very beneficial and informative to the committee and, on behalf of the committee, I wish Ms O'Reilly well in her future work as European Ombudsman. I hope she and her staff stay safe and I wish them a happy Easter. As I have said, I hope she will be able to appear before the committee in person in the not too distant future.

Before we suspend the meeting, there are some formalities to go through. I propose that we publish the opening statement of Ms O'Reilly, the European Ombudsman, on the committee's website. Is that agreed? Agreed. I also propose that we publish the submissions received from the Scottish Parliament, the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia and Mr. David Lowe on the committee's website. Is that agreed? Agreed.

I propose that we again approve the minutes of the private meetings which we have already approved during virtual private meetings. We must do this for procedural reasons. The meetings in question were held on 10 December, 21 January, 4 February, 18 February and 4 March. Is that agreed? Agreed.
