I asked five other general questions. Luckily, I have them here so I can repeat them. I raised the local government auditing service. It published a report containing 13 recommendations. Clearly, I am not expecting everyone to be on top of that today, but perhaps someone might give a commitment to look at this and come back to us on it. There were 13 recommendations.

The sector was dealt with comprehensively in that and surely it is not gathering dust on some shelf somewhere. We should see the outcome of it and someone might give an undertaking to look into it. The local government auditing service published a report on the oversight role of local authorities in the provision of social housing and approved housing bodies. Maybe I will talk to the previous witnesses from the housing bodies about this as they may know more about it.
