Public Accounts Committee

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (resumed)

10:20 am

Mr. Graham Doyle:

I will respond briefly to that. I am not sure the response can be characterised as that. We know we need to deliver more capital new-build homes. We absolutely accept that. That is an absolute focus. I am just saying that over that period, we would not have been able to house people with the amount of money available, had we not used those particular schemes. That is all I am saying.
