Regarding the size of rooms and so on, the Department is still using - I ask Ms Buckley to correct me if I am wrong - the McMahon report, which uses a definition from the Housing Act 1966 as the minimum space required for a bedroom, which is 4.65 sq. m. That is about the size of a double bed. Is that standard, referred to in the publication which came out last August, still the one the Department will use into the future?
