Ms Caroline Timmons:

We have released reports for Q1 and Q2. To correct the figures, we have delivered 1,268 affordable purchase homes between Q1 and Q2. The reason the Deputy is quoting the numbers she is quoting, which are also correct, is she is eliminating the first home scheme, which is substantial part of the delivery target.
