Thank you, Deputy Llywydd, and I thank and welcome this debate today from the Conservative Party. The availability of sustainable housing is a key priority for this Government, and even the UK Government appears now to be waking up to the importance of this issue, judging by their recent White Paper. We welcome their belated conversion. Indeed, Dawn Bowden was right about the launch of the White Paper and the targets within that, only for, a few weeks later, those targets to be dropped by Theresa May and her team.

We recognise the challenges that exist in the Welsh housing sector, Llywydd, based on the principal projection of need in the Holmans report. Wales has, with 5,300 market housing completions a year over the last two years, achieved the numbers identified in that sector, and we will work to increase that still further.

I listened very carefully to David Melding’s contribution, and again very eloquently delivered, but he does live in his own housing bubble, it appears, with his numbers that he chooses to bring to this Chamber. Indeed, Donald Trump would be proud of the fake news-style numbers that the Member uses. Let me share with the Members in the Chamber the real situation of housing, particularly under the Conservative administration. House building under the Tories has fallen to its lowest peacetime level since the 1920s. I know they don't like talking about the 1980s or the 1970s, but let's give some numbers here. An analysis of house building going back more than a century shows that recent Conservative rule, under Cameron and May, has seen the lowest average house build since Stanley Baldwin—your friends again—in Downing Street in 1923. Official statistics; not mine—this was from the House of Commons Library.

An average of 127,000 homes a year have been built in England and Wales since the Tories took office in 2010. [Interruption.] They're all gabbling; they don't like it. The facts are the facts. This is the lowest level of any Government since 1923 that's delivered anything. The target for the housing Bill was dropped by the UK Government under the flagship policy—
