Some 60,000 households are supported through HAP tenancies right now in the private rental sector. The Deputy just said to the House that we do not need a private rental sector, which is an astonishing remark. The reality is that we are building more social houses than were built since 1975; we will do still more and will continue to do so. In my supplementary response, I will refer to exits from homelessness as well.
