Chamber and committees

Thank you for your responses. We look forward to hearing about the outcomes of the work that you will be doing.

Absolutely—about planning departments.

Thank you for that reassurance and encouragement. We have time for one more question from Meghan Gallacher.

I will go back to Elena Whitham, who has a couple of questions.

I am going to slip in a supplementary question from Mark Griffin on local government pay.

I will briefly suspend the meeting before we move to our next panel of witnesses.

As you have given such clear and succinct answers, cabinet secretary, we have a little more time. My colleague Miles Briggs has a short supplementary question.

Thank you for that. We are all very encouraged by the idea that we move to that wider-outcomes, community-empowerment approach.

Thank you for that response on multiyear funding and your intention to move in that direction.

Thank you for that response, cabinet secretary. I move on to a couple of questions from Miles Briggs.
