Mr. Graham Doyle:
We believe the scheme has potentially strong value in the context of preventing homelessness in certain cases. It is not how the Deputy characterised it before. I can understand that but it is not a fair characterisation of where we are coming from. We are trying to strike a balance between the overall funding available and the pressure to deliver new supply in cases where acquisition is entirely appropriate.
