I do not agree with the idea from the two previous speakers that we should not hear other points of view outside of the people who are already in the local authorities and in Government. The reason I said I doubt if the Deputy has read books on social housing is that in the past five years there has been no vision in terms of providing local authority and public home building. These people have made those points. I do not think we should hear from the existing people who have a certain ideology. There is a need for other radical ideas.
