That goes back to the advice I received from the Department of housing, which has said that these rents are now set and that they are already set at a level significantly below levels in the market. There are two different issues. There is that issue and then the second issue, which is that, in policy terms, I am not looking at this measure as something that will influence the level of rent for cost-rental properties. Rather, I am hoping that it will contribute to the LDA and the AHBs being able to deliver more cost-rental properties full stop.
