The investment that has gone into the retrofitting of social housing is very welcome. However, with regard to social housing under construction in building sites at present, how many houses being built are being connected to fossil fuel supplies for home heating? What is the percentage of social housing? What will be the future cost of retrofitting homes under construction now that are being connected to fossil fuels which we will have to replace with heat pumps? Why are there building sites active now where we are connecting to fossil fuel supply for home heating in our social housing stock? Why is that happening now? I have a final question after this.
