I take the point. Obviously we will come to section 219 and we will look at that in great detail. I want to be absolutely clear on this. Will there be a specific requirement in developing a national planning framework and in development plans to specifically identify the needs in terms of affordable housing as opposed to housing need in absolute terms? That is what I am looking for - that there will be a requirement.
