Thanks very much for that, and for your comments on recalcitrant owners. Stefano Pessina, do you want to come in?

Thanks very much for that. Willie Coffey, do you want to come in with your next question?

Thanks for that. I appreciate all the technical detail that you are bringing in. We will take that away and look into it with our research team. I will bring in Chris Ashurst, Paul Turnbull and then Jodi Terras.

Thanks for that clarification. Paul Turnbull, you wanted to come in.

Okay. Thanks very much for that. Paul Turnbull, I think that you will have the last word.

Thank you very much for those poignant closing words.

I thank everyone very much for coming. We could have taken a bit more time, but I think that you managed to get across all the points that we really need to hear. We can go away and look into some of the detail that you have highlighted. Thank you so much for making the effort to come in between storms Isha and Jocelyn.

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

That is an interesting distinction.

Before Pam Gosal asks her next question, I have a supplementary for Fionna Kell. How many SMEs in Scotland would fall under the £10 million threshold that you mentioned? Do you have that number?

Great—thanks. I will bring in Julie Jackson and then other members who have indicated that they want to come back in.

That is a very good point. It seems to me that there needs to be some kind of operating and maintenance manual that should be handed over, if we are to address the issue that Kieran Walker mentioned in relation to who is responsible for what and where the line is.

Pam Gosal has a couple of questions.

You say that the scope has grown arms and legs, and you identified a couple of examples of that. We will explore that further as we go on. Do you think that speedy progress on cladding remediation is dependent on the bill, or are there things that could be done now to get on with the job?
