I thank the witnesses. We have had many discussions, especially around housing. Everybody, including the witnesses, is trying to figure out how to get more out of that slice of the cake that goes over to the Department for housing. There is huge pressure on it.

I would be remiss of me not to thank the Department staff and the local authorities for their work during the pandemic. It is important to know that it is appreciated. They provided a great service throughout that period. I thank the witnesses for joining us and for the information they have provided. We have covered a lot of stuff. I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General for attending and, as always, assisting us with our work.

Is it agreed to request the clerk to seek any follow-up information and carry out any agreed actions arising out of todays meeting and is it also agreed that we note and publish the opening statements from the Secretary General briefing provided for us today? Agreed.
