Ms ?ine Stapleton:
We have a pipeline of more than 22,000 altogether, between those on site and those at some stage of the approvals process. At the end of quarter 2, there were more than 9,000 units on site. I do not have the figure for the end of quarter 3 yet but we would expect to be adding to that. We have a very strong pipeline for quarter 4. It is similar to the pattern of last year, where a very significant element of our overall housing delivery came through in quarter 4. We are seeing a very similar trend this year.
