Mr. Bob Jordan:

It may not be the CALF funding mechanism. I suspect it may be the other mechanisms. The turnaround time on CALF is very good. We do it within two weeks within the agency. I can provide the figures for last year. We appraised 241 projects with the potential to generate 5,000 homes through the approved housing bodies. They were all turned around very quickly. The appraisals are done on behalf of the Department, so there is not a follow on.
