Does the Housing Agency go to any lengths to look at or do an overall analysis of this long-term enhanced leasing? Ms Feeney said that it is carried out by individual local authorities. The Housing Agency has a role in this. Why would it not have overall statistics through which to look at this issue, the value for money achieved and how this is applied in each local authority? I am finding it really difficult to get comprehensive figures. It is absolutely essential that we get comprehensive figures and such an overview if this is a "criminal waste of money".
