You do not know where the money is coming from? You criticise this committee and Opposition members all the time for offering up extra expenditure without knowing where the money is coming from, and you have done exactly the same. How can you come before the committee and tell us that you do not know where the money is coming from?

You are in government. You are responsible for finding that money and agreeing to things. You have to be able to deliver what you have agreed with the unions and the employers, and you are saying that you do not know where the money is coming from.

Minister, can you explain how this works? We talked about the flexible workforce development fund. Does the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government come to you and say, “Right, Graeme—we need some savings,” and you offer up suggestions? Alternatively, does she identify, from her department, what could potentially go, and then you have to have a discussion about it? How does it work?

When will the Erasmus+ replacement for Scotland, which was in your 2021 manifesto, be rolled out?

It is not just me. It was a manifesto commitment that you made in 2021.
