Let me rephrase the question. It was not the local authorities or the Housing Agency that decided the design of the scheme. Ultimately, that was a policy question for Government in terms of the legislation that was provided. Given there is such a discrepancy between applications, applications deemed valid and drawdowns, and given such a significant amount money is not being spent, is that something the Department is looking at? Is it asking whether there are aspects with the design of the scheme that would fall within the Department’s remit? Are there aspects with the administrative scheme which would fall between the Department and the two agencies? Given the urgency of this, I would have thought senior people in the Department would be trying to fix the fact that 60% of an allocation was unspent. Is that even being looked at or examined at present?
