We will consider all aspects in trying to deliver more homes. Local authority-led delivery is good delivery, as are AHB-led delivery and LDA-led delivery. We need homes. However, if the Deputy is asking me whether I will establish a building unit in local authorities to build their own homes, how long will it take to scale that up? Each local authority would have to employ builders to build houses itself. We are focusing on what we have to do now.
