That is improving day by day. I sat a long number of years on a local authority which was not building any houses. Now we are seeing houses being built by local authorities and things are improving in that respect. The bottom line for local authorities is to provide housing on the basis of need.

We are saying we will support, through Sage Advocacy or whatever, those applications and ensure the maximum opportunity is given to individuals to make the case on their need and how great that need might be.
