On that note of transformational change, I thank the witnesses for joining us this morning. The session has been very constructive and informative, which I really appreciate, and it has been great to have Jo Armstrong along for her first session with the committee. I look forward to seeing you in the future.

I will briefly suspend the meeting to allow for a changeover of witnesses.

The first group is on the cladding assurance register, additional work assessments and levels of risk. Amendment 10, in the name of the minister, is grouped with amendments 44, 45, 11, 47, 48, 12, 49, 13 to 16, 56, 57, 18 to 20, 60, 61, 21, 22, 64, 25, 27 to 29, 31, 32, 69, 70, 73, 74, 37 to 40, 81, 41 and 43. I point out that, if amendment 10 is agreed to, I will not be able to call amendments 44 and 45, due to pre-emption.

The next group is entitled “Single-building assessments—content, definition, and effect”. Amendment 46, in the name of Mark Griffin, is grouped with amendments 51 to 53, 82 to 84, 42, 85 and 86. I call Mark Griffin to move amendment 46 and to speak to all the amendments in the group.

I invite Pam Duncan-Glancy to speak to amendment 51 and other amendments in the group.

The next group of amendments concerns liability for costs of assessment and remediation. Amendment 50, in the name of Miles Briggs, is grouped with amendments 54, 59 and 62.

No other members wish to speak to the amendments in the group.

Amendment 63, by agreement, withdrawn.

Amendments 23 and 24 moved—[Paul McLennan]—and agreed to.

Amendment 64 not moved.

Amendment 25 moved—[Paul McLennan]—and agreed to.

Amendment 65 not moved.

Amendment 2, in the name of Miles Briggs, was debated with amendment 5. Does Miles Briggs wish to move the amendment?

The next group of amendments is on appeals against arranged remediation work. Amendment 7, in the name of Graham Simpson, is the only amendment in the group.

Our next group is on warrants authorising the use of force to effect entry. Amendment 30, in the name of the minister, is the only amendment in the group.

The next group is on the responsible developers scheme. Amendment 67, in the name of Miles Briggs, is grouped with amendments 68, 71, 35, 3, 72, 36, and 75 to 79.
