Mr. Paul Benson:

At the moment, there is nothing on the social housing investment programme with local authority own-build that is ready to go and is waiting for approval.. There are projects with us that are subject to further information requests or are being assessed by our technical advisers. There are a couple of projects on my desk from the cost rental equity loan side, but they are awaiting funding to be approved on the CALF side or an application to come in from the AHBs. A project cannot proceed unless both are approved because if they are in the same development, the contractor requires them both in order to proceed. Those two are waiting but not because of any delay in funding. On the CALF side, we have 12 applications that are through the final stages now. We are working our way through-----
