What we are doing is that we have acquired about 600 properties from July. There was a target of 200 for 2022. As Deputy Smith knows from dealing with constituents in our area, once the council enters into those negotiations there is a conveyancing period to close the sale. Some local authorities have been using figures of closed sales only, ignoring the fact that there are others in process. That is the important thing. Knowing that the council will purchase the home gives the tenant the security. I will come back on his other questions in the supplementary.
