I will touch on the housing progress reports. Local authorities delivered 101 affordable purchase homes in the first half of this year and 22 affordable cost-rental homes were delivered by AHBs. The LDA did not deliver a single affordable home this year. The Government said it is committed to delivering 5,500 affordable homes this year. If we go by those figures, 123 homes were delivered by the middle of this year. What is the status of the target of 5,500 by year end?
