I will give the Acting Chair three numbers to be helpful to the meeting. In regard to on-site and in development purpose-built student accommodation, there are currently 3,040 bed spaces. The private sector is presently delivering, in construction, 3,983 bed spaces. I mentioned digs accommodation earlier. The number of beds offered through digs in July was 1,225. This increased by more than 1,000 to 2,311 by 20 October. There was a significant increase this year in the number of bed spaces available through digs.
