I have a couple of quick-fire questions for Mr. Taaffe and Ms Leech because there are couple of issues I want to get through quickly. I will pick up on Deputy Hearne's query. The Government has obviously set out social housing targets of an average 12,000 per year each year over its lifetime. We are waiting for the affordable housing targets and I accept there is a different need in different local authority areas. Has the CCMA taken a position on that? Has it made a submission or is it just waiting for the Government to set out if it is going to stick to the average 4,500 for affordable rental and affordable purchase or if they will go above that in the new plan? That is the first thing.
