I have a strong view that the more independent the research is, the better. For example, we have seen that once home completion data were given to the CSO, all the politics was taken out of the matter, and now we have a really robust data set. Annual registration will do the same for the rental sector, and the RTB will develop a specialism in interpreting that data, which a generalist in the Housing Agency might not have. I am making a case for more RTB research, but in collaboration with others.
