We have a breakdown of the previous correspondence on this. We do not have that per county. There is a breakdown across the 26 counties on an item of correspondence we received in about May or June, which gives a figure of 166 builds by local authorities, using contractors, and that is fine. As the Deputy correctly said, the majority are being delivered as turnkeys. I will not quote the figure but I believe it is something similar for turnkeys. This is pushing out first-time buyers. It has happened in the estate I live in, where an AHB came in and bought 12 in bulk.
