Thousands of working families and individuals are caught in an affordability trap whereby they can afford neither to rent nor to purchase a home. I have asked on a number of occasions for the Government to outline its definitions of affordable rental and affordable purchase; its targets in this regard for 2018; and the timeline for introducing an affordable housing scheme. Despite all the spin and announcements, we are still not getting answers to these very simple questions so I hope the Minister will oblige me in this regard this morning.
