I agree with Deputy Coppinger but I do not believe the proposal is that we do not invite the likes of Rory Hearne, for example, or others. A session could be held with representatives from the local authorities and departmental staff on the technical aspects of the delivery of social housing. A separate session could be held around housing policy, to which people such as Rory Hearne and Michelle Norris could be invited. We should invite those who are not just academics but also have direct experience of this problem and lots of fresh ideas. I suggest we invite those people to a housing policy and law session.
