I thank the Minister of State. That is a better commitment than the first form of words.

I am still not clear what problem this is fixing. I appreciate the Minister of State is going to give us more information, but is there any evidence at all this is accelerating housing delivery? We have heard about the 30 housing developments and 95 units, but they could have happened anyway. When the Minister brought this in I specifically remember his rationale. He was saying it was going to be for quick delivery of modular construction social homes and he was saying it would be additional modular homes that would not otherwise be built. Are these 95 units all modular construction, as the Minister was telling us at the time, or are they a mix of different types of housing construction?
