I will be brief. We welcome the introduction of the order, and I thank the Minister for her comments.

I found some of the comments from the Labour Front Bench interesting, given the subject. The creation of this new organisation will be of benefit to all and is not a particularly political thing. As far as I understand, nobody in the Scottish Parliament voted against it, so I am not sure how it became quite so political, but that is where we are.

Beyond that, Mrs Murray, it is just a case of welcoming the order and the creation of Consumer Scotland.
