Ms Caroline Timmons:

It did what it was supposed to do, which was to indicate where the highest level of affordability challenges were, and where one might target the funding. However, I do not think it should be a barrier to anyone else accessing the funding if they can find localised affordability challenges that would not have been part of the national statistics. We take that into account more. We have produced a circular for all of the local authorities saying that if they wish to come in, this is the type of analysis-----
