That is okay. That is straightforward. That is welcome. That clarifies that.
On small schools, I have a bit of a concern. I read the material in respect of the issues we raised two years ago. It is a bit flaky in terms of what happens with the smaller schools. Mr. Loftus will appreciate that with smaller schools, you will not have a clerk of works standing on the site all day. He clarified that in the context of larger projects, clerks of works are present the whole time, which is welcome. With a smaller school, however, do they visit regularly, maybe weekly? Are the visits unannounced? Give a brief answer to that.
