The witnesses are very welcome. I will primarily focus on the enhanced long-term leasing of social housing. Obviously, value for money is a critical issue. We have to be prudent to get more for the money we have. The Housing Agency has a responsibility to deal with the local authorities in respect of leasing, which we were told was going to be phased out. Do we know how many leases are in place and the average cost per annum?
