I cannot see how we are going to address the shortage of 250,000 homes. I will move on to my other questions, if that is okay.

My first question relates to public sector pay. The current agreement will run until halfway through 2026. We can see there are quite consistent allocations for budgetary decisions that will be allocated out to 2030. Can we take it that a future pay agreement is baked in and will not come out of the amounts to be allocated from 2027 onwards? I understand it is a sensitive issue and is subject to negotiation and all of that. We simply need to know at this stage a rough estimate and if a deal has been baked in.
