We have set the challenging commitment to deliver 20,000 homes for rent within the social sector during this government term. In addition, a national leasing scheme, Leasing Scheme Wales, was launched in January 2022 with a target of 1,500 affordable and good quality homes in the PRS by 2027.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
