Pursuing such an inquiry risks undermining the reputation for balanced and inclusive scrutiny that the Committee has worked hard to establish.
Let's take the extraordinary skills and expertise created by the North Sea and put them to work building its successor.
I therefore hope the committee will think very carefully before pursuing a course of action that could once again raise questions about its impartiality and potentially damage its relationships with key stakeholders across Scotland.
