I thank all the witnesses. I will focus specifically on school buildings for the newly sanctioned classes. The parents’ opening statement referred to their concerns about buildings being in place. Will they reflect on that point? I would ask the same of the other witnesses. They talk of the possibility of a plan B. The IPPN mentioned the prospect of an emergency SET-plus plan. Is there something in the planning system, for example? So my question is on school buildings which are newly sanctioned: will they have places in September and what can we do about it?
