On a point of order, Deputy Presiding Officer. I would like to correct the record. During the earlier members鈥 business debate, Alasdair Allan said:
鈥渢ransmission charges result in higher electricity costs for residents of northern Scotland鈥.
This is not a debating point. That is not true. I will quote from the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee鈥檚 report on Scotland鈥檚 electricity infrastructure. In paragraph 131 of that report, Jack Presley Abbott of the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets is quoted as telling the committee:
鈥渋t is a fact that Scottish consumers pay the lowest transmission charges anywhere in Great Britain.鈥
I hope that that corrects the record.
Thank you, Mr Golden. You know that that is not a point of order, but it is now on the record.
There will be a brief pause to allow members on the front benches to change before we move to the next item of business.
