I thank the Deputy. Of course, I am frustrated. Everyone who is involved in trying to solve this problem at the moment is frustrated. We wish we could build houses more quickly. However, there are things we have done to fast-track that process, such as the fast-track planning process, an emergency response that has seen thousands of homes get planning permission in a much shorter timeline. There are other responses, such as the new procurement framework, given we cannot get around procurement law because it is there to protect the public interest.
