That is a change, which I welcome. Unfortunately we are now doing that in the middle of a housing crisis. It is, however, a welcome change.

There are many more questions I would ask but I will finish as I am nearly out of time. I will jump to the issue of the forensic science laboratory and the money that was saved. I refer to page 19, which states there was an estimate and refers to procurement. The outturn was much less than the allocation and savings were achieved. I understand the enabling works were done with a view to building a new facility because this is a converted office that is not fit for purpose. Is that putting it too strongly?
