Is it left up to every local authority whether it has turn-key properties or gets in personnel and starts building? I am talking about value for money. Does Mr. McCarthy have statistics to indicate the value for money achieved by local authorities in the case of an average three-bedroom house compared to voluntary bodies? Is there a difference in cost between what a local authority would buy it for, on average, anywhere in the country and what a voluntary housing group would spend? Does it come in at the same cost?
