From my point of view, because I want to give a true figure of the social housing need, the figure is 120,000 families and individuals. The Government might consider HAP to be social housing, but the vast majority of the people I deal with do not. They are on the transfer list. Of those 60,000 people, how many of those are EEA and non-EEA? Are there any figures for that?
