I presume that under each of those headings from the Minister's targets the Department provides updates through the year. My worry is that the only area of delivery which is ahead of target is the housing assistance payment, HAP. The worry is that because there is such a focus on construction if the Minister is falling back on the construction targets they are being replaced in respect of the overall 21,000 by the HAP.

A concern for some of us is that, because such a focus is being put on construction and if the Minister is falling back on the construction targets, it will be replaced in terms of the overall 21,000 figure in the target by the housing assistance payment, HAP. It is important we get those figures.
