My purpose in being here today is to explain what we will do with that money. We have discussed the legacy debt and the land acquisition fund, and what is happening in those respects is generally seen as positive. We asked each local authority what level of additional staff it required or wanted in respect of social housing specifically, not affordable. Two hundred and fifty new posts have been approved. Of those, 180 had been filled by the end of September. On top of that, a further 69 posts have been granted in respect of affordable housing delivery, and those are being filled at the moment.
