All members will be familiar with the current programme and we will continue rolling that out next year. We will start working on a new programme early next year and it would be good to have a conversation with this committee about that. I am already receiving a lot of representations concerning schools that were not included in the current five-year programme. We want to continue with the roll out of the elimination of prefabs, particularly the rented ones. It is an ongoing, rolling programme. There are some issues with planning delays and so forth and we are trying to keep on top of those.
