Of course you would. In that context, it goes back to the Department. Not repair and lease, but the decision was taken to end the leasing provision. There was limited increase, in terms of the provision of one-bedroom leasing properties, of additional 1,000 units to the end of 2024. This time last year, when this committee was discussing the same thing, I asked for a relaxation of that provision for leasing and for the opportunities for local authorities to engage with providers on leasing options specifically geared towards one-bedroom and two-bedroom properties. Has that relaxation occurred? If so, has it been communicated adequately to the local authorities? If it has not, why not?
