Would the Minister give way there? I wonder whether the Minister would look as well at smaller-scale community trust regeneration models. I've been involved with these in my past, and, on a street by street level, their local knowledge and intelligence, and some well-minded people—if they have the right expertise behind them and the right financial support to get it off the ground, my goodness, they can do a tremendous amount in their particular area, in their neck of the woods, in regen. So, beyond the larger co-operatives and the housing association involvement, these smaller community trusts, I think, have scope as well.
