We have had some discussion of short-term lets but I am reassured by the fact that over the next nine months, there will be a period to reflect on the concerns expressed by the committee, so I hope they will be addressed as part of that. I expect the Chair will probably offer his accommodation on Airbnb to Joe Biden's secret service in the coming months.

The issue of career paths and challenges arising from vacancies in the sector was raised previously. Energy and skills shortages are often raised, and we talked previously about some of the matters on the visa side, which have been improved. Ms Campbell might comment on the skills side and Mr. Kelly might address the issue of career paths, which is a crucial one for the committee.
