I will be very quick. The purchase of homes and the tenant in situ scheme have been excellent preventative measures as well where we are ending insecure HAP tenancies. Last year we completed the purchase of more than 1,800 homes throughout the country. These were people who were on HAP tenancies, in the main, and now those tenancies have been converted to social housing tenancies. We are continuing that for this year. We have a pipeline of well over 2,000 homes and all exits are into a tenancy, be that with HAP, AHBs or LAs.
