Whilst the Member is right to point out that Welsh local authorities are free in terms of the old housing revenue account subsidy system, there is neverthless a cap still on borrowing that they have to observe. What I can say is that we’re working with those authorities who wish to build new council housing to ensure their borrowing cap is used to its fullest capacity in order to increase housing supply, and we’ll continue to work with them in order to make sure that they’re able to do that.
