Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee

Thanks for that. Pam Gosal will ask question 3, and I am keen to get Anna Gardiner in on the conversation.

You do not need to apologise for saying anything, but we have about half an hour left and I am keen to bring in other members who have not had a chance to speak. A stack of people have said that they want to come in on this area. Please try to keep your responses as succinct as possible and come in if you are bringing something new into the conversation, because we need to get through some things.

Robin Blacklock, you are online and you wanted to come in a while ago. John Blackwood, you indicated that you want to come in, and my colleague Gordon MacDonald indicated that he has a short supplementary question. We will go with that order and see how we get on. Then I will bring in Willie Coffey and then go back and pick up on one of Miles Briggs’s questions. We have a lot to do and a lot to cover. Robin, come on in.

Does anyone want to pick that up? I do not want to stifle the conversation by bringing in the issue of time, so please come in.

When you did that survey with the 8 per cent response rate in which 60 per cent of those landlords said that they intended to sell, did you get the details of why they intended to do so?

Thank you very much for that detail.

I will bring in Ally Macleod. Do you have anything to add from the perspective of Aberdeenshire Council on the impact of the rent control area provisions in the bill? Do you think that they could have unintended consequences?

Jennifer, I did not ask you about possible unintended consequences of rent control, such as a decrease in supply in Glasgow. Will you outline the current position in Glasgow and what impact you think that the bill might have?

We have been talking about national and local data sets. Is there a place in our current system where we could put those data sets, or would we have to create something new?

Kelly Ferns and Ally Macleod, do you have anything to add to our list of data sets that we would want?
