My first questions are for the Housing Agency. According to its analysis of the rent measures, average rents will rise. Could Mr. Whelan give an estimate of how much the agency sees average rents rising by in the next three to five years as a result of the new measures? When does it see rents falling as a result of the new measures? What is the agency's estimate of how many affordable purchase and affordable rental homes are needed each year to meet housing need?
