Thank you, Minister, for your answer. We recognise — I think that everyone in the Assembly does — that the £15 million that has been allocated to new-build social homes will allow only up to 400 new-build social starts in 2024-25. I know that you met a number of housing associations last week, and I welcome that. That is a reduction of well over 1,000 homes, and it is not where we need to be. I welcome the update that you have given on your liaison with all Departments. Where would you say we are in relation to housing being a priority in the Programme for Government?
