That comes back to communication, does it not?

Your response made me realise that we do not necessarily need to go to every witness. Does anyone have anything new or different to add to what Tony Cain said?

Before Mark Griffin comes in with his next question, I want to clarify that you are saying that there is a lack of provision of sites in the first place.

Robyn, do you have any positive experiences of the SHR?

The silence might say it all. [Laughter.] It is hard to have a view if the system is overly bureaucratic.

There is clearly a need for things such as the comic book that you showed us. Earlier, with the previous panel, we discussed communication and the ways in which we can ensure that tenants understand their rights. The approach that you are talking about is something that we should think about in that regard.

It is interesting that the forums focus on particular areas.

David, I will come to you with a question, although I think that you have already started to address the point. We are interested in getting a bit more detail on the points that you made in your submission about work to review the SHR’s approach to taking account of community interests in the light of the requirements in the “Scottish Regulators’ Strategic Code of Practice” and the Scottish Government’s national outcomes. You mentioned the loss of assets, the loss of decision making and the loss of community input into regeneration. Are those the examples of community interests that you were thinking about? I would also be interested to hear more about what you are proposing, what the benefits of that approach might be, and what discussions you have had with the SHR on that. You said that you have started discussions with the SHR.

Scotland is also looking at how to bring forward the community wealth-building agenda. I imagine that having a community-based anchor organisation creates a lot of potential for the wider regeneration that you mentioned earlier.

That was quite interesting. Could you talk us through the point and the purpose of that?
