I have seen that in the notes. I thank all the witnesses and members for the very useful discussion today. We will have further meetings in private session where will consider all the points made by the different stakeholders and witnesses. We will then prepare a report and we will share it with everyone when we publish it. I hope it does justice to the various submissions and points made. I think it usually does. For the benefit of the members, will publish the opening statements on the committee's website. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Two Private Members' Bills have been referred to the committee. There has been a little bit of a queue over the last term but we will try to get them processed. One is the Firearms and Offensive Weapons (Amendment) Bill 2021, which is pencilled in for a May meeting. The Seller's Legal Pack for Property Buyers Bill 2021 will be considered afterwards. It will probably be June before we get to that.
The next meeting will be with the Minister and her officials on the EU asylum and migration pact.
