As regards public procured housing through the system, the end user, whether public or private, is not necessarily known at the start. The end user is known from the start in the case of properties that are built directly through a local authority or AHB leading on the scheme but that is not the case for private sector builds and that are sold towards the end to a public end user. One of the challenges is how to get in at that point into those kinds of builds, which is a significant amount of delivery. Even putting that aside, 25% of 10,000 homes, to take that figure, is still just 2,500 homes. That is not the kind of scale we want to reach.
