I do not want to interrupt the Deputy but the exits that we track are to tenancies only. If I give a figure for quarterly exits, they are to tenancies. Let us be very clear about that. If someone moves home, that is not captured in the exit figures. The exit figures we produce are with the DHRE, for example, where we are tracking where people are exiting to. The exits are to tenancies only through HAP, AHBs and LAs. If someone, because of family break-up or because he or she has had a row with their family, moves home what we track is the tenancies that are created to LAs, AHBs and HAP, which are more difficult to get because of the constrained private rental supply. That is what we track.
