Yes. Thank you all for coming in this morning. So, I think most of us in this room will know that local authorities are already stretched when it comes to preparations for the elections next year. How possible is this actually going to be, that this roll-out…

Statement by the First Minister: Weather, wildfires, drought and resilience
