Ms Clare McGrath:
We take a lease on the basis of the brief which outlines a requirement for a particular number of places. We also take a lease on the basis of costs per square metre or square foot in the market. We have regard to what is available in a location, the market rates in that location and we pay rent commensurate with the market rates in that location, based on the size of the property. I take the point the Deputy is making on the effective use of the accommodation.
