Saying that does not build the homes. We had ten years of undersupply. We have brought forward a new plan that we are funding on a multi-annual basis. We have built 110,000 homes since 2020 even through a pandemic, two construction shutdowns and a war in Ukraine. We are building the most social homes since 1975. Of course, we want to, and will, do more. However, the Deputy says that 1,000 people need social homes so we should just build them. Of course we should, but it is not going to be done overnight.
