Does that not make sense? It certainly makes sense in terms of existing stock allocations. It also makes sense if there are a limited number of tenant in situapplications that would be progressed. We have heard it will be a limited number. The landlord who is selling the house and wants to sell with the tenants in situonly applies to those tenants in situ. The landlord is not saying, "I want to sell the house to the local authority and evict my tenants, but you can allocate it to the people at the top of the list." That only seems to make sense if we are saying there are a very limited number of tenant in situapplications that will be progressed. Does that not point to the need for the scheme to be expanded?
