I will bring in Miles Briggs.

That concludes our questions. Thank you very much for coming today, and for giving us clarity around the bill and its purpose.

We previously agreed to take the next four items in private, so that was the last public item on our agenda today.

Item 2 is for the committee to take evidence on the Standards Commission for Scotland’s annual report for 2022-23 from Lorna Johnston, executive director, and Richard Wilson, case manager. I invite Lorna Johnston to make an opening statement.

So the approach is about leading by example where possible. That is helpful.

I bring in Marie McNair. It would be great if you took a moment to declare your interest, Marie.

For sure.

Stephanie Callaghan has a supplementary.

Thanks for that clarity. We heard on our recent visit that part of the problem is not so much that the single building assessments are not being undertaken but that the remediation work is not subsequently being pursued. Do you recognise that as a concern and, if so, how will the bill contribute to overcoming the problem?

Have you identified anything else that is preventing the movement from the single building assessment to remediation?

Thanks very much—that was helpful. I will now bring in Mark Griffin.

As part of the work that you are doing, you are undertaking a stock survey of all the medium-rise and high-rise buildings that are in the scope of the programme. How advanced is that survey?
