Moving on, I will finish off the productivity theme. I know that the convener has already brought up research and development, which is very important, but housing is also arguably in there—the programme for government figures set that out. Given the impact on productivity—never mind child poverty, which is one of the Government’s key drivers—is the plan to restore in the budget the £200 million cut to housing?

I have a couple more questions. What is the latest on Scottish bonds?

My final, final question, convener, is one that I have asked before—

Thank you, convener.

As you know, I have raised the ScotWind moneys before, both at the committee and in the chamber. I know that, if money can be salvaged for good purposes, it will be. However, the question that needs to be asked is, if that money ends up needing to be used this year, what assessment are you making of its not being available for subsequent years? That is obviously a concern as well.

Before your officials come in, I will build on that point a little. The root of the issue still lies with data collectors, in that we do not routinely collect disaggregated data. Indeed, in its response to the consultation, Engender noted the lack of such data.

When your officials come in, or when you give your final comments, I will be interested to hear where we are on ensuring that all data is representative and can be sliced and diced as appropriate. I realise that that is not always possible, but we should do so wherever we can. However, we are still not yet at the point where it is done routinely.

Sorry—we have no sign of Keith coming in.

Thank you very much.

No problem.

It sounds as though you are adopting a very stock and sensible approach. To finish, I merely make the point that it needs a strong driving wind; otherwise, that stated position will never really change, because that is what the evidence has told us over a period of years.

When will the thematic gender review be published—on what date?

Keith?
