Affordable housing equity and affordable housing contribution have separate definitions. Everybody accepts that there is a requirement to have targets for affordable housing, and not just affordable housing but also social housing, cost-rental housing and private rental housing. We believe his intention is to deliver affordable housing, and not just affordable but also social housing, affordable housing both for purchase and rental and private housing.
This is the Affordable Housing Bill but nowhere do we define "affordable housing". Amendment No. 19 has been tabled in the same spirit as my previous amendment, which was amendment No. 9, in that it ensures that the cost to the person availing of housing is affordable. We also have the local authority affordable housing section, Part V housing, and cost rental.
