No. I will go through a few questions. Within that there is a target of 500 affordable purchase homes. The number delivered was 323. That is not a new scheme. That scheme, under the name of the serviced sites fund, was introduced in 2019. How has it taken such a long time to get such a small number of affordable purchase homes? I accept that it takes 12 months to build these, and 12 months or so to get through the approval process. We had Covid etc., but it seems like a long time to produce a small number. How confident is Ms Timmons that number is going to start increasing significantly in the next year or two, including this year?
