First, I commend the right hon. Gentleman on his clear, common-sense leadership during the recent events in Woolwich.

The Government closely monitor the rate of house building. We are on target to deliver 170,000 affordable homes by 2015, and we completed 58,000 of them in 2011-12. We assess that to be one third higher than the annual average delivered in the 10 years leading up to the last election.
