Excellent. Does Mr. Burns know how many tenant in situpurchases the council is currently progressing and how many landlords have been approached? This is something that has become the stuff of rumours and I would like to get this nailed. When we talk to the Minister, he will say that money is not an object when it comes to the tenant in situscheme, that it is being progressed and that is good. Anecdotally, however, I have been told that if a person is above a certain point on the list, the tenant in situscheme is not considered. I do not suggest this is the case and Mr. Burns should correct it formally if he can. In the case of a person being in 500th place or above on the list, while I understand there are criteria for the scheme, will all such cases be considered and will all landlords be approached?
