Mr. Ian Black:
The review was to confirm whether it made sense to continue with the SBCI. The review confirmed that and made a number of suggestions. One related to the model, which is an on-lender model, whereby we do not lend directly to SMEs. That was considered in the review, and it was decided that the model was the appropriate one to continue with. The focus is more on SME innovation. SME first is the core of this. We are looking at doing more in respect of innovation products and climate action. Recommendations were made in those two areas.
