Chamber and committees

The chief constable was talking about making use of the borrowing powers. Would that make a difference to you?

When you hand it back, does it go back to the Scottish Government?

I am sorry to interrupt, but is that actually happening?

So you are saying that there will be no redundancies, but that there will be a change in emphasis and a move into different roles.

Good morning. I would like to go back to the opening questions regarding multiyear funding. I know that you will appreciate the difficulties that the Scottish Government has with that because of our situation. You talked about having to hand back capital money if it is not spent by 31 March. Is that a regular occurrence? Do you have figures for that?

Yes. I thought that that would probably be the case, but it is still very interesting that it could be done, albeit on a much smaller scale.

Right. I am trying to square that in my head. You could do that for COP26, but officers in the rest of the force still do not have them. Are they different scenarios?

Okay. If you could give us that information, that would be great.

That is interesting. Thank you.

My other question is about reserves. Are you looking to increase your reserves? Do you have a figure for that?
