Convener, we might seek information on that point from the representative bodies for the PVI sector, because it has been put to me that it is losing out at an apprenticeship level—on top of the other issue that the sector is losing talent to the public sector because of the different terms and conditions.

Michael Marra’s point is worthy of inclusion in any communication.

I want to feed something back to Margot Black. The sector rates what you do in the Scottish Borders Council area very highly, so I compliment you on setting a standard for the way that local authorities might interact with the PVI sector. In particular, you mentioned modern apprenticeships, which is an issue that deserves more focus.

Negatively, though, apparently.

So, it is pretty basic.

That figure was from five years ago. We do not even know what the number is.

Karen Watt touched on the strategic review of capital investment in the colleges sector. I have a couple of questions on which I am sure you will be able to give me some quick responses. When can we expect to see the outcome of the review?

That is a huge clarification. I was thinking that it was imminent.

Should what you have described not be done annually? Is it not good housekeeping for colleges to do an annual inspection of what they have and what they would like to have so that they can spec it up and put a number on it? You make it sound as if they have not looked at the issue since 2017, but surely that cannot be right.

That is a very good point, convener.

To be able to make those judgments, which you do with a finite amount of money, you must know the current value of the maintenance backlog; you must have a universal view of what that currently looks like. What does it look like?
