Thank you very much for that answer. My next question is about awareness and understanding of the Scottish Housing Regulator’s remit. Usually I try to change things up, but this time I will go down the line to make things easy. Tony Cain, what is your view of the awareness and understanding of tenants, homeless people, factored owners and Gypsy Travellers regarding the SHR’s remit, and are there any improvements that can be made in that respect?

My next question is for Alan Stokes. You already began talking about your research and have supplied us with recommendations relating to the SHR’s review of the regulatory framework and progress on those recommendations. Which are the most important recommendations and to what extent have they been, or will they be, taken forward?

Do you have any suggestions about training or capacity building?

I went to see a First-tier Tribunal session last week, which was very illuminating.

Would anyone else like to comment?

Thank you very much. We will now go to questions about the Scottish Housing Regulator’s regulatory functions and culture. Willie Coffey has a number of questions and joins us online.

That is an issue to address.

I now bring in Mark Griffin, who also joins us online.

Emma Roddick, who is joining us online, has a couple of questions.

I bring in Alexander Stewart.

When people do not get a pitch, what do they do?

Good morning and welcome to the 33rd meeting in 2024 of the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee. Willie Coffey, Meghan Gallacher, Mark Griffin, Fulton MacGregor and Emma Roddick are all joining us online. I remind all members and witnesses to ensure that their devices are on silent.

The first item on our agenda is to decide whether to take items 3 and 4 in private. Are members agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
