There is a concern about the standard and getting it up to standard. Are you looking at changing the standard? And I’m not sure whether some of it could be interpretation as well by RSLs and concern about whether they can get up to the standard, so they might…

Good. I'm just going to ask you some questions regarding the transitional accommodation capital programme grant. I know it's been really welcomed by local authorities to build up housing stock that they had transferred out previously. There doesn't seem to be…

Okay. Just moving on to housing supply, Welsh Government has got the target of 20,000 new low-carbon social homes for rent. As of March 2024, there were 8,933 homes delivered against the target, and, given the additional capital for social house building in…

I think it hadn't been put up for three or four years, and then, suddenly, it increased slightly. So, I guess there’s an awful lot of catching up to be done to bring it in line with what’s needed now.
