Okay. I will move on.

As I understand it, you are seeking more flexibility from the UK Government to convert capital to revenue. When you were answering a previous question, you were about to mention local government. If you get that flexibility from the UK Government, will you do the same for local government?

It is almost as if local authorities have to use their reserves and the capital grant will then be converted to top up the reserves again, in some strange sort of way.

So it is for nothing else, then.

Moving on, I note that paragraph 19 mentions additional funding of £7 million for the Cairngorms funicular railway and an extra £6.7 million to Ferguson Marine for vessels 801 and 802. Have those sums already been announced, or are they in addition to anything that had already been put aside for those two projects?

Are private sector and local authority partners well aware of what is available?

What will that do to your targets? Will it delay your targets, or are you looking to increase investment in future years?

Do you accept the criticism that, because net zero was your key priority and your number 1 commitment, you should do everything possible to make sure that the money was spent to make sure that you meet your targets?

How will complaints that are already in progress be dealt with? Will they follow the new process, or will they continue to work through the old process? What will be shown in the report in December? Will there be anything at all?

I slightly disagree with the convener. Even if somebody is cleared, the information should be published, just as happens for councillors with the Standards Commission for Scotland, where the findings are always published.

There was a suggestion that, previously, you could not publish the findings, or even say whether a complaint was upheld or not without getting into the details. Is that correct?

Is that because the procedure did not explicitly say that you would report on the outcome of cases?
