I will use my six minutes to tease out some of the issues that local authorities see in the provision of housing. I have no doubt that if it was up to them, they would house everyone on their lists in the morning. I am not suggesting there is some conspiracy to keep people on lists. What are the main barriers the witnesses see in their positions on local authorities? Is the main issue funding, planning, a lack of land, contractors or skilled labour or a combination of all of those factors?
