Thank you for the answer, First Minister. The Welsh Government requires local planning authorities to maintain a five-year housing land supply to meet local demand for housing and to monitor this on an annual basis. However, Caerphilly County Borough Council's local development plan has failed to ensure sufficient deliverable land has been made available to meet the needs they have identified for their local communities. Caerphilly's housing land supply position is being hampered by the failure to make progress in replacing their LDP following a review, which began in 2013. What action will the First Minister take to ensure that Caerphilly council meet the requirements regarding housing land supply set by his own Government?
