Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Housing and Local Government – in the Senedd at 2:29 pm on 4 March 2020.
That's a wholly different topic—the subject of new build, not social housing. I do find it extraordinary that, on the Conservative benches, you stand up and berate us for not building social housing when you wouldn't take the housing revenue account caps off us until the end of last year, and you stopped us using houses sold from the social sector into the private sector—. You stopped us using that money to build new social housing. I just think that you have got the brass neck of—. Well, I am speechless with your brass neck, to be honest—[Laughter.]—that you've actually put that to me. The reason that we have dire social housing need is because you sold the social housing stock.
