I note from Mr. Conlan's advance briefing that he concurs with the committee's briefing. He stated mission properties can offer real value for money for the Exchequer compared with long-term rental. Reference has been made to achieving potential savings from moving from older properties with high energy and maintenance costs. Three years on, how many embassies have been bought? I understand they cannot all be purchased. One has to get money from the Government and suitable properties and everything. We had 35 properties in 2020. Where are we now?
