I thank the minister and his officials for that helpful discussion. As we agreed at the start of the meeting, we will take the next item of business in private.

I have a question for Mark Rodgers. Would it help if the Scottish Government considered placing a factory in the Highland area for scaling up with modern methods of construction?

I do not know whether this has been covered, but I want to ask a question about my new favourite thing, which is modern methods of construction. Is anyone working on that? We will hear from Colin Proctor, then Frank McCafferty.

Mark Griffin, who joins us online, will ask the next questions.

Would you like anyone in particular to start on those questions?

I, too, have been interested in the empty homes issue and the work that is being done to bring empty homes online. That seems to be another opportunity in areas. There seem to be quite high levels of vacant and empty homes that we could tap into, as well.

Do either of you want to? You do not have to. They are not indicating that they want to respond, Mr Briggs, so let us move on.

We will move on to wider issues.

Thanks very much for your response. Those examples are very helpful, and I have made notes to learn more about those places. We recently had a visit to Govan, where something similar is going on.

Yes—sorry. Steven, you were named when the question was asked.
