I absolutely agree. The sums of money involved are very large. It is important that we are getting value for money. It is also important that we are stuck with what made sense during an emergency and rolling it forward for years. The Government made a clear decision at Cabinet recently to move away from emergency provision of accommodation and towards a more structured or planned approach.
