Yes, thank you. So, on the expenditure, sorry if there is some confusion, but there are two lots of £10 million revenue—so, the £10 million original revenue spend, and then an additional £10 million revenue spend in this second phase. But there's also £10 million of capital. So, it's £30 million, if you include the capital—£20 million revenue and £10 million capital. So, I think that's where the confusion is coming from. So, it's a £30 million envelope, but £20 million of it is revenue, just to be really clear. We are expecting—. The reason for the mix is because the capital leverages, other schemes and the revenue, obviously, provide support for borrowing and a number of other schemes. So, we deliberately put the mix in play. So, I hope that does clarify that.
Obviously, when we see the plans coming forward, we'll be able to work more closely with local authorities and other partners at exactly how that funding will be working, but we wanted to make sure that they could plan, knowing that there was support for that in place and that that wouldn't be a barrier to making the plans in the first place.
In terms of other routes, yes, I'm aware of the Newport scheme—I absolutely commend it. We will be looking to roll out several of those schemes right across Wales. We've also been running a scheme in a couple of local authorities where we take over a private rented house for five years, promising the landlord the local housing allowance for that whole period and then returning the house to them in the condition in which we received it or better.
Sorry, I got muted for some reason.
