Thank you. You've almost answered my final question, but obviously in terms of—you mentioned Smith, and the Gordon Brown report also concurred; I don't know if you've had sight of that—the authority there in Scotland being transferred equally in terms of the…

Cysylltiadau Rhynglywodraethol Cyllidol: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Absolutely, and I completely concur. The commissioners recommended that the UK Government considers a solution similar to the COVID guarantee to give devolved Governments that element of certainty that we have not had, and still don't have, about the funding…

Cysylltiadau Rhynglywodraethol Cyllidol: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Thank you, Chair. Thank you for your very direct answers to our questions. In regard, then, to the overall thematic—just a quick one, if I may, and it's more of a comment, in a sense—there is a feeling that there is a lack of fundamental respect for a mature…

Very briefly, and picking up on what you said in terms of the lack of use of the current dispute resolution mechanism, is that mechanism fit for purpose? You've hinted already in terms of the Treasury's ownership around this. What's your simplistic view on…
