You said that there is more to come after that.

Do you have sight of that team’s deliberations, reports, recommendations and so on? Do we see any of that? Is it publicly available?

We do not want to repeat the experience, do we?

Thank you for that, for now.

Again, that is really helpful. The only other thing that occurs to me to ask is this: if the median rent rise is below inflation, will that have any impact on landlords’ ability to retrofit their properties to meet net zero?

Thank you, Michael.

George Walker anticipated my last question and almost answered it. You obviously have second sight and know what I am going to ask. The question is about the time that landlords take to re-let their properties. You mentioned that it is now taking longer. Do you pin that on the residual impact of Covid?

George Walker mentioned a figure for loss of income due to lost rent. Was it £38 million or around that?

Can landlords attempt to recoup that?

Good morning to you all. It is nice to see you.

I want to ask Rosemary Agnew about the number of complaints that went through the investigation stage prior to her being in post. I think that there were 800 or so. After you came in, that seemed to drop to 192. I invite you to reflect on why that was and what happened there. Why are so few cases being investigated?

It was a very helpful and useful meeting. It told me, once again, that many of us in Scotland do not know what our houses are constructed from, be they old or new. That is probably a wider issue that goes beyond the scope of our consideration, but it is really important for people to know what their homes and buildings are constructed from, who holds the records of that, and who has legitimate access to them. That is an important issue for us all.

The only issue in your draft summary report that I would draw your attention to, convener, concerns the comment on the single building assessment process. I do not think that it is quite the case that those assessments are not being actioned by the Scottish Government. That may have been stated by one or two participants, but it is not actually the case. A slight modification of that wording would be welcome.
