I imagine they are because I do not believe anybody else other than the board can issue a fine. That was the legal advice we got back on this new level of administrative sanctions. From having read some of the files, my understanding is that the board does that.

Regarding the capital advance leasing facility, CALF and affordability, we determined in our conversations ahead of the budget that the best way to deliver affordable homes at scale and to know we are delivering them is to use our own local authority land. That is the serviced sites fund. We also believe that by doing it in this way and by using other mechanisms we can leverage European Investment Bank funding which allows us to lock-in cost rental when we talk about affordability. These are the mechanisms we have approached to deliver cost rental and to deliver affordable purchase on local authority land.
