Okay. Does the Department accept that if the local authority does not deliver, design and build by bringing in builders - I am not saying it will have an army of builders - but buys and leases, that has a bearing on houses that would otherwise traditionally be for sale by driving prices up because one sector is underperforming. This area must perform. Does the Department accept that has an impact on the price of houses?
