I understand. The point I will make in that respect, which Ms Timmons might take it away, is that it would be very important that the revised grant amounts that are available are applied to existing projects that are already in the pipeline. The issue would be that if they are not and a project has not commenced, we will see people withdrawing from the approvals they already have and reapplying, thereby clogging up local authorities and vacant homes officers in order to get the higher amount. That does not make sense. If something has gone through the entire process and it has drawn down already, obviously it is what it is, but if projects have not commenced, it would be important that they are able to access the revised figures, assuming that they are higher, of course. I am making that assumption.

My question is related to that issue. Is there an indication that in the case of a property that is to be made available for rent, there would be some clause or clawback similar to the existing clawback that is in place for the owner-occupier piece? There is a ten-year clawback for owner-occupiers. Is it the intention that there would be some clawback on the rental side as well?
