Chamber and committees

It looks like we have agreement. I will move on

That will come up a little bit later.

I see that Tony Cain wants to come back in but I will bring in Graeme Dey, who has some questions. Perhaps Tony can come back in on them.

Anthony Aitken wants to come in on that.

Thank you. That specificity is really helpful. I do not see anyone else wanting to come in on that question, so I will move on.

How well does NPF4 link with other Scottish Government policy and investment priorities, particularly around housing? That issue was brought up in the previous session. There are lots of policies that are already in play, and in that sense they do not link, but this question is around housing. I will open this up for any of the witnesses to respond to, because some have not yet had a chance to speak. Have you noticed that a certain policy is linking well, or does the framework undermine or step over it, or not even acknowledge that it exists?

Thank you for that, Nicola. Tony Cain wants to come back in.

Thank you. Paul McLennan has a supplementary question on the same theme.

I am sorry to interrupt you, Meghan. David Stewart, Nicola Barclay and Tony Cain all want to respond. That was a popular question.

That brings us almost to the end of our session. We have a couple of questions that we will write to you about. One is on the consultation process and the other is to do with conservation and retrofitting, which we have learned are issues that have not been picked up well in the framework, even though we are about to embark on a warmer homes process.

I want to give you all a chance to raise any issues that have not been touched on or any specific improvements that you think we need to hear about. I am mindful of the time, but it would be great if you could tell us anything that you really want to convey to us.

Thank you for that, Andrew. That level of specificity is very helpful.

Thank you.
