I am a member of the Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sports and Media and that committee has discussed the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill. One of our strong recommendations was the appointment of an online safety commissioner within the commission and giving that title to one of the commissioners because we felt it was so important. I feel the biggest issue within the Office of Ombudsman for Children is the lack of services for kids with various disabilities. Appointing a person in that role of online safety commissioner would highlight the seriousness with which we view this issue. That is my view and feeling of the way we should go. Having spoken to representatives of Scottish Autism, they have gone with putting a dedicated person in that role to highlight the seriousness of the lack of services.

Do any of the witnesses want to do a final sum-up?
