The Government is ensuring that the health of participants and the local community is foremost in our planning for COP26. The excellent joint working between the UK Government, Scottish Government and Scottish Delivery partners is key to all planning, and we will continue to ensure we maintain a close dialogue. We will update the committee once plans are finalised. 20. The proposal for health protection and contingency measures remains in development. We are aware that these measures will need to be communicated in an appropriately timely manner to both the local communities surrounding COP26 and the attendees.
