Mr. Robert Watt:

Responsibility rests with the local authority. As the local authority is part of the general Government sector, restrictions are imposed on its ability to borrow, but ultimately it is a matter for the local authority. The Comptroller and Auditor General has done a review of the land aggregation scheme, which was partly a response to the indebtedness of some local authorities who had gone into debt through buying up land for developments that were subsequently deferred or phased because of changes in the property market. The central Government stepped in to provide support to some of those local authorities and the Comptroller and Auditor General has done an assessment of that scheme.
