I thank the member for his question, and I remind him and others that, when people in the front here hand you a question, you don't have to ask it. But so be it. What we are doing is precisely the opposite of the suggestion which he put forward. I have had access to homeownership, and I had it in my 20s, and I had it because my mother, who lived in the one public house her whole life, used to say to me, 'When you get a chance in life, own your own home.' It was drilled into me. It's the aspiration that's drilled into working-class people, who want the next generation to be better off than they are. And that is precisely what we are doing here.
