Mr. Graham Doyle:
On cost-rental, obviously only a very small number were delivered and offered for cost rental in the first half of this year. There were approximately 470 last year. It should be recalled that all of these schemes are new. A multifaceted work programme was involved in setting up the schemes, passing the associated legislation and so on. They have all been put in place and we are now trying to turn to delivery.
