Mr. John McCarthy:

That was taking 2009 as a point in time. That contracted significantly over the following years. I do not have full 2014 data yet, but if one takes 2013, fewer than 300 were built. We were meeting social housing need through other mechanisms, but in terms of the build programme, which is what we are focusing on here because of the extent to which land is associated with the build programme, it gives a sense of the extent to which that normal sequencing, in terms of purchase of land through to build, became fractured.
