When the Minister refers to the utilisation of GIS, anything that can streamline projects that are of real benefit to our schools is always going to be welcomed, and I welcome that. Will she provide the House with more detail on how schools are being prioritised in that area? She mentioned the modern nature of new school builds. She is correct to do that. Any new build is more modern and will be more energy-efficient than something that has been in existence for 40 or 50 years, but the vast majority of schools throughout the country are schools of a particular age. Some will also have limited roof space. They may actually be taller than they are wide. Has that been factored into consideration of this? I have spoken to schools and they want this to happen as soon as possible. Will the Minister outline priorities for areas where it will happen? That would be appreciated.
