Ms Rosalind Carroll:

That is something we can take on board and maybe specifically target in our awareness campaigns. The census results probably reflect that where the numbers in the rental sector were not what we expected them to be because people identified as social housing.

There are a few questions I may have missed. On the electoral divisions, ED, question, that was looked at as part of the overall review of the rent pressure zones. We did find difficulties with it from a methodological perspective, and there are probably some ways around it, such as joining EDs. We could look at that a little further.
