On the cost rental model, I think we need a lot more development of it. I am concerned that cost rental is not exempt from the principle of mixed income and mixed tenure. Obviously, mixed tenure would not apply. We cannot allow middle-class enclaves to develop for cost rental. It is not in spirit with any other element of development. It is very important for senior citizens, retired persons within schemes or nominations by local authorities of tenants into schemes that the principle of mixed income is adhered to within any cost rental scheme. I accept it is the overall model that we are seeking to approve here but we need to ensure the principle of mixed income applies in the same way as it does in a private housing estate, a social housing estate and an affordable housing estate.
