Mr. Mike Allen:

There is a joint submission. The three organisations represented here and the Society of St Vincent de Paul came together and made a submission. We were very concerned that Part 5 would be watered down. It is fundamental in delivering social housing that Part 5 be retained. Clearly, in the delivery of social housing, it was extremely frustrating and officious and got a bad name because of some of the delays. All of this needs to be sorted out, but the fundamental idea that there should be a public return in the building of housing is something that needs to be maintained and delivered effectively.
