I thank all the witnesses for making time available this morning. I wish to deal with the Housing Agency's revolving acquisition fund. A target of 1,600 houses within a four-year timeframe was set and slightly over 50% has been achieved. Is there a reason that target was set? I ask because 50% is way off target and I wonder whether there is an explanation.
