Rented Housing

To save the hon. Gentleman from reading another 15 examples of where the word ““target”” was used, may I just say that my understanding was that it was always an ambition? Most people use the words ““ambition”” and ““target”” relatively interchangeably. My main point to the Committee was that nothing has changed, in that we are not abandoning the desire to press on to provide greater social housing, which a number of people argued we would have to do because of present economic circumstances.
