On that point, when we had a similar problem with the affordable housing fund, Ms Timmons will remember there was a nine-month gap in many instances between the agreement being reached with the pillar banks, BPFI and the Department and drawdown. In my own constituency affordable homes were left vacant for nine months. As we need to ensure we do not have another nine-month delay, any extra pressure Ms Timmons can bring to bear on the banks would be greatly appreciated.
