The only reason we have not made a decision beyond that is that it is a consequence of the budgetary process. If we make a decision on the provision of more social and affordable homes and home hubs, we have to make a resource decision on it and that is being done at the moment in the budget. It is not complete yet. If we were to make such a decision, that would then change the housing figures to which the Deputy is referring.
