I am raising a question about the budget day announcement concerning HBFI. I think everyone in the House accepts that finance is an essential ingredient in delivering the homes we want to build for our people throughout the country. Specifically, when does the Minister anticipate the fund to be up and running and providing finance for home construction? Will the terms and conditions be on a commercial basis and attractive enough that the loans will actually be drawn down and used?
