I have just seen some good results from it in my constituency where the local authority has entered into long-term leases. Not only does it provide housing, but it provides an opportunity to free up family homes as well, as they tend to be one- and two-bedroom units. I have seen the cascade effect of it as well. I do question the long-term economic benefit of a 25-year lease, which we do not own at the end of it. I have always questioned that aspect of it. Does the Simon Communities have a view on the long-term leasing schemes?
