As I am the last to speak many of my questions have been asked but I will try to zone in on questions that have not been asked to avoid repetition by the witnesses.

A figure of 800 cost-rental dwellings was mentioned in the opening statement of the CCMA. Does that mean 800 dwellings will be delivered per year or over four years? I ask because the figure seems low as local authorities have been tasked with delivering 47,600 dwellings by 2026 and the Government wants to deliver 2,000 dwellings a year.
