You mentioned NPF4. Will you dig down a bit deeper into what the key opportunity would be for green and blue natural infrastructure in the framework?

I have a question for Liam Fowley and Katie Reid. I am keen to hear what you think the top priority is that young people want us to hear today. What is the strong message that you want to be ringing in our ears by the end of the discussion? It is important that we hear that.

I have a quick supplementary question. Are we ensuring that we get the message out there for young people to apply now, so that we do not get a huge number of applications at the beginning of January?

Good morning, minister. The local authorities will be responsible for the roll-out of the scheme and, because I am still a councillor, you will probably not be surprised to hear me ask this question. What additional support will be needed or given to ensure that the local authorities have the scheme ready to go when it comes into place in January 2022?

Good morning, panel. My question is for Scottish Enterprise. I note in your written submission that you are focused on “stimulating early action” in support of the transition to net zero. What are the early actions and how do you measure their success?

Good morning. I will be brief, because I realise that time is getting on. How does the bank interpret its legal objects with regard to supporting a wellbeing economy? What does supporting wellbeing mean to you in your approach to identifying and assessing investment opportunities?

Good morning, Mr Sharma. It was touched on briefly, but could you give more detail about how the UK Government is liaising with the Scottish Government to achieve an ambitious global deal? Are there any overlapping areas? How much co-operation is there?

What advice would you give to the Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament on how they can play their part in the success of the conference? What role can the First Minister play in that?

I asked about rural properties because there are such properties in my Aberdeen Donside constituency. People sometimes do not realise that.

I will move on to transport. Earlier, you spoke about the target of a 20 per cent reduction in car travel by 2030. How would you like, or expect, people to change their method of transport by the end of the current session of Parliament? Sorry—I am not making much sense. Where would you like us to be on that 20 per cent target by the end of the session, and how do you see us getting there?

I want to go back to fuel poverty, which Mark Ruskell spoke about earlier. Cabinet secretary, you touched on district heating as one of the ways forward. I am proud to say that, in the Aberdeen City Council area, we already have such a scheme, in addition to a heat with rent initiative. The scheme is very good, and I cannot wait to see it being pushed forward in other areas.
