I thank Mr. Brett for his opening statement and the supporting documentation. A number of members will ask questions and Mr. Brett might deal with them collectively rather than individually. When doing so, he might elaborate on one item that arose. He stated that 156 cases have been completed in the mortgage-to-rent scheme, which seems a very small number in terms of the scale. In such circumstances, what are the real challenges? Everybody agrees that it has the potential to be an effective scheme but 156 cases seems to be a drop in the ocean. Mr. Brett might elaborate on how that could be developed to be more effective and meaningful. The first speaker to indicate is Deputy Durkan.
