The Chair and I have sat on a number of committees. I loved the honesty expressed a while ago. I wrote in my notes that there is no joined-up thinking between housing bodies, no sharing and no caring. I have listened to what was said. With the last group that was in here, I talked about workforce planning and supply. We have heard about the issue of land. The witnesses have plenty of experience from having worked in organisations . There is a possibility to speed this up and make stuff more affordable. I heard what was said about what we call the squeezed middle. If you have been waiting 13 years for a review of what the incremental gap is, there is definitely something wrong. Again, there is no joined-up thinking. It was interesting that Professor Norris mentioned a subcommittee. If she was envisaging that subcommittee, what would the purpose of it be and what would she expect to get out of it in the shortest timeframe?
