The issue of the threshold change is a matter that will be considered budget to budget. I caution that any changes could affect the price of a home, particularly at a point when we still have so much we need to do to increase supply.

Regarding the important point that the Deputy made about the Housing Finance Agency meeting, I believe that refers to meetings of the board. The Deputy is concerned that, by only meeting once a month, it could be delaying important decisions. I will follow up on that. It is appropriate that a board meet approximately once a month, but that should not delay important decisions at a time when we need all the finance we can get to build more homes. I will raise that matter.
