This was a capital assistance scheme. How many of the units currently with AHBs were funded through the capital assistance scheme, and has there been any change over the years that would make a difference when the houses that have been funded to date become, as we call it, "unencumbered"? It sounds like a 19th century land war kind of terminology. Is there a difference? Can anybody answer that?
