Chamber and committees

Thank you very much for that—it is good to get the Glasgow and west coast perspective.

I call Willie Coffey, who joins us virtually.

It is great to get it down to numbers—that is very helpful.

That was great, because you have answered some questions that I had been wondering about. That level of detail is helpful. I know how much effort is needed, because I have been involved in a local planning initiative in my community, although not a local place plan.

Craig Iles wants to come in, but I wonder whether Miles Briggs wants to develop his line of questioning a bit more.

Does Craig Iles want to pick up on that question? I think that renewables is relevant to your part of the world in South Ayrshire, and peatland restoration probably is, too.

Would Iain McDiarmid like to come in on Miles Briggs’s question about renewables?

I see that Jane Tennant wants to respond.

Thank you for mentioning the UNESCO biosphere. It is important to note that.

Before I bring in David Dunne, I note that we are running over time. I will let the meeting run until 11:15 and try to stop us at that point. It is clear that we have a lot to discuss here.

It is helpful to get the specifics of the scenarios in Aberdeen. I will bring in Iain McDiarmid, then move on with a couple of closing questions.

Thank you. It was helpful to get some specific examples such as “good, green jobs”. What, indeed, does that actually mean?
