The Senator knows this measure is intended to prevent people from going into homelessness; hence the question. Cost rental is not a free for all. We are expanding cost rental to new properties. I take the point on whether there is a better administrative way to do it. As I said at the outset, we are seeing quite a considerable increase in the numbers. I never thought that the cost rental tenantin situ scheme would be as significant or even close to as significant as the purchase for tenant in situscheme for HAP and RAS tenancies. It was never going to be that.
