The Government's plan to sell State houses and have more social housing provided by community groups has been criticised by Opposition parties.
Before Parliament sat today, Mr English was asked whether profits from the sale of State houses would be reinvested in social housing.
"Certainly for the foreseeable future as much as we can. In the longer run, if there's other people providing houses then the Government wouldn't be giving them money for social houses," he said.
But moments later in Parliament, Mr Key said no decision had been made about where the money would go.
