Okay. I'm just interested in the way that the Act is being quoted there, because that does raise some questions about the consistency of the way the Act's being used, because it does seem local authorities are using it when it suits them.

Specifically, they're using the future generations Act as cover to do that.

Just very briefly, I was fascinated by your example of the housing officer using the future generations Act. That's a very unusual way for the future generations Act to have been prayed in aid. I just wondered, Chair, if we could have just a note or just some…

Sorry. I think you mentioned that Denmark relies on bonds. Are you still finding that, even with longer term public-backed debt, there's a reluctance to leverage that because of the financial instability, or does that provide a greater level of assurance?

Okay. Thank you. Can I just ask, in terms of the appetite of authorities to borrow, we've had some evidence that the impact of inflation and the volatility of interest rates are discouraging housing co-operations even more from being willing to borrow. Is…

Okay, I'll keep trying. I wanted to ask about cost-based social housing and what contribution that makes, and also, if you could as well, a little on the role that private finance plays, because our social housing in Wales tends to be largely funded through…

The Welsh Government's borrowing powers are quite limited. Local authorities have much more flexibility, I think. But that's an interesting suggestion. Thank you.

I guess social landlords working with local authorities to access their borrowing powers as well could be a more efficient way of doing it.

Sure, but in order to meet your ambitions you set out, you say we should be more ambitious. If you are going to take that dynamic out of the mix, then you need to source alternative finance—if you wanted to build more. So, do you have suggestions on…

Do you think that can be done effectively within the Welsh Government? Because, before the land agency, some time ago, the Land Authority for Wales looked at sites and then there was Tai Cymru and others. Do you think the current model is right?
