Good.

In the meantime, I have asked the Housing Agency to conduct a comprehensive analysis of costings, timelines and priorities. This will allow for a fuller consideration of the policy matters raised than would otherwise be possible, given the report does not cost actions or, indeed, specify timelines for implementation.

The Commission's report, together with the Housing Agency conclusions vis-à-vis costings, timelines and priority actions, will help inform consideration of the forthcoming Housing for All action plan update, which I intend to bring to the Government with my proposals for next steps in the autumn.

One example I will give the Deputy - there are many - of recommendations the commission has made that are already in place, is the 20% social and affordable provision, which we have already changed. I reversed that decision that was made by a previous Government.

That is in place now, among many other measures, including the support and use of equity schemes for first-time buyers. I published that as well. I have published a plan and a report, which we are implementing. I published this report. That is in stark contrast to the Deputy, who has published nothing.
