Housing and Regeneration Bill

We had better not pursue this arithmetic question much further. I simply thought that I could not let it pass, but I did not want to make a point of it. It will all be there in Hansard. What I wanted to get on the record was that times have moved on, and the question of shared equity in housing now provides a greater degree of flexibility than what was originally almost an apartheid system of private sector and social housing—I do not like to use the term ““council housing”” any more. They were two sides of a coin and never met. Now we have a much more flexible arrangement, which is wholly to the good.
