I thank the Minister for his reply. On the cost-rental scheme, and I appreciate the Minister’s previous answer where the detailed design is yet to happen so the Minister may not have the full details on this, but at this stage, does the Minister know when the subsidy is given, will all of these cost-rental apartments and homes be transferred to a not-for-profit housing association or local authority, or do they remain in private ownership, potentially? Will these houses be cost-rental homes in perpetuity, will it be for a set period of time, or are these things not worked out yet?
