I do not have that table to hand. I am told three have returned them and one has not.

On the circulars, we have agreed the circulars with the committee, as clarified earlier by the Acting Chairman. On the vacancy, that has been achieved in terms of putting the teams in place as per that item. The quarter 3 report on the vacancy work was published so the committee should have that report as well.

Deputy Darragh O'Brien asked if we need to review HAP. Yes, we do but I do not propose to do so until such time as we have a sustainable supply of housing. When we reach that point we will not need HAP to the degree we need it now. If I were to withdraw it tomorrow it would not solve the problems that people have. When we get to the point that a consistent level of social housing stock is being built each year, we can then review other housing measures. There will be always a need for HAP. People will always want the flexibility it provides for a number of reasons but we should not be using it to the degree that we are now. Nevertheless, we have to use it for legacy reasons, which are clear. As we move in 2020 and on to 2021 we will be ale to put more people into social housing than through HAP. At that point, we will need to examine to what degree HAP is sustainable into the future. Now is not the point in time to do that. Deputy O'Brien and I are not on a different page but now is not the point in time to do that.
