Point of order, Mr Speaker. I seek leave to correct an answer I gave to oral question No. 6 on Wednesday, 22 May 2024.
💬 SPEAKER: Leave is sought. Is there any objection to that course of action? There appears to be none.
Thank you, Mr Speaker. In my answer to the Hon Kieran McAnulty’s supplementary question asking whether 10,000 first-home buyers received the First Home Grant last year, I incorrectly responded with the number of homes purchased as part of the scheme, rather than the number of individuals who have relied on the scheme. For clarity, 11,483 people received a First Home Grant last year, whereas 7,870 homes were purchased using the scheme.
