Turning to what is within the Department's control, in terms of approval of social and affordable cost rental schemes across the board from local authorities and housing bodies, the delays within the Department to approve schemes have been referred to a number of times. At this point, how many schemes are fully ready to proceed but awaiting approval from the Department across all the different deliveries, that is, the social, affordable and cost rental from local authorities and housing bodies? How many schemes are awaiting approval?
