Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. We are all grateful to firefighters across the country for the work that they do in keeping us safe. I'm aware that the national joint council has put forward some proposals for change that may impact the work that firefighters undertake in our communities. Could you give us an indication of how you intend to respond to these proposals? I'm also aware that the Scottish Government has made a pay offer to the Scottish fire service that appears to be outside the current negotiation structure. Could you give us an indication if you intend to follow suit?
