On the tenant in situ scheme, as the Minister outlined earlier, it is a demand-led scheme. We have asked local authorities to bring forward potential properties under the scheme and also under the Department's social housing investment programme. We are making available to all local authorities and approved housing bodies funds to deliver new social housing in direct construction and in partnership with turnkey developments. More than 25,000 new-build social housing units are currently at design-tender stage. These will offer huge opportunities to building contractors across the country and will certainly account for much of the supply that will be required to drive social housing delivery into 2025 and 2026.
