I see. In terms of the housing and regeneration directorate, Minister, and opportunities for income generation, do you think that you've maxed out, as it were, in terms of those opportunities, and will you be doing any more in that regard?

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024 - 25 - evidence session 3: Minister for Climate Change
We'll be coming on to those matters and others, Minister. But firstly, again, in terms of the general picture, could you give the committee an overview of where the greatest reductions in allocations have taken place and how those decisions were arrived at?
