I am open to suggestions on whom we may bring in on that. These are just notes that I have jotted down as I was going through this. We will put this under No. 17.

I have mentioned biodiversity, heritage, and climate change. Officers and staffing levels in local authorities can go under No. 18, or possibly No. 15? Are members are agreeable to this proposal?

I also wanted to look at building housing design and adaptation measures for older people, universal design, and the principle of changing places for people with disabilities in public buildings, under the building regulations. I have put that down as No. 19, standards and building regulations. I am sure that members may wish to add something if we are going to be looking at building standards and regulations. There was a mention of modular and of timber-frame housing, which may also cross cut this issue.
