I have a few more questions. We discussed affordable housing earlier, so I will leave it at that but we have questions about it.

We need to look at the repair and lease scheme because there was a target of 800 units but just 15 units have been delivered. Are the local authorities to blame for that? Perhaps the criteria are at fault.

When does the Minister propose to introduce the LDA legislation? How long does he think it will take? I have many concerns about the proposals, which will be debated when the legislation is published. When will that happen? When does the Minister think the agency will be established? When does he think it will deliver its first home? I will leave it at that for the moment.
