Public Accounts Committee

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

9:50 am

Mr. Graham Doyle:

That is what we are working on with the local authorities through our interaction with them and with our various delivery partners. We will increase the level of capital funding, I have no doubt, under the NDP review. It was increasing in any event. I suspect it will increase further. We will work with our delivery partners to deliver houses under that, thus offsetting, exactly as the Deputy says. It is a matter for the Government to agree the funding and the overall targets. We will implement it to the best of our ability with the delivery partners we have.
