We have to assess a number of different key questions or big projects. First, we must prioritise housing in a new housing for all strategy, which we must deliver in the coming months. Second, there is a review of the national development plan, which must be done in tandem with the climate action plan. All this is within a very tight timeframe. I believe we should aim to try to get that done before the end of this term. The recovery and resilience facility fits within that, but it is just one of the elements we will have to discuss, debate and sign off on. I welcome that we will have that debate next week. It will show, first, that we are going to make a very green investment, as is requested by the European Commission. It will help address some of the housing crisis issues by providing transport solutions that will be critical for it.
