I welcome the time the witnesses have given us. My first question is about the homeless. I do not know the name of the website referred to because I live in a different county. I am very interested in the social and family supports about which Mr. Cummins spoke, how local authorities work with families, which is a hugely positive engagement, and how they fund that.
Returning to my best practice question, I acknowledge the interpretation Mr. Cummins gave me but there must be cities in England that have tackled a huge housing crisis. What is best practice there? Again, it is one for people who know the trade because I do not. There must be new and existing initiatives. There was a housing conference in Brighton years ago. I do not know if anybody remembers it. I attended it once or twice and very good ideas were brought forward by city governments, particularly administration.
Can we visit these modular houses because I do not know where they are?
