All the Minister of State can say about what the Government inherited, along with the financial situation, is that my party in office built too many houses. It is a particular achievement of the Labour Party to turn a surplus of houses into a homelessness crisis. No other Government has turned a situation in which it inherited a surplus of houses into a homelessness crisis within a few years. Moreover, it did it all on its own after the troika left. It did not happen on its watch but happened when the Government was left to run the country on its own.
