Chamber and committees

Absolutely. I use the phrase “three for the price of one” a lot these days.

Could you say a little bit about the housing revenue account, which Derek McGowan brought up? He said that you have to speak to ministers if you want to add to that pot from the general fund. Up to this point, no council has done that, and Derek McGowan suggested that that was partly because the guidelines are not clear. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on that, as that could be a way in which you could get more funding.

I will pick up on the HRA, Edward. To be clear, my understanding is that tenants would not be affected. If councils wanted to put additional money from the general fund into the HRA pot, they would have to ask ministers for permission. Up to this point, no council has done that, partly because the guidelines are not clear. Could we do something to help bring clarity to that area? Is there any interest in that in Moray?

Thank you very much. Meghan Gallacher is joining us online.

Thank you for that. I will now bring in Alexander Stewart.

Thank you for that. I will bring in Emma Roddick on that area.

We have certainly heard plenty about the need for many more planners.

I will move on. We have had two questions and a supplementary from Emma Roddick, and we have quite a few other questions. I bring in Willie Coffey.

Thanks for that. Is there anything new and different to add?

Thanks very much. Christian, do you have anything to add?

Okay—I think we got that.
