We are running a little over but I hope to come back to mop up on some of those questions.

The next slot is the Green Party, which is mine. The information gathering the RTB is doing is incredibly important. I understand when it does one bit of research that it leads to further questions and it does another bit of research and it gets a full picture. Has the RTB asked any questions along the lines of asking how off-putting it would be if part of selling up required keeping the tenant in situ? Has it any information on that at all?
