Mr. Graham Doyle:

Just in terms of repair and leasing, there are two schemes that we see as sister schemes. There is the buy and renew scheme, and the repair and leasing scheme. The cumulative delivery under the buy and renew scheme, which started out very slowly in 2016 and which I think local authorities tend to prefer, has over the past four years reached over 570 on that side. On the repair and leasing scheme, it has been a little bit slower with 165 under that scheme. There has been a lot of activity in various local authorities. You can see that some of them brace these schemes more than others.
