Mr. Graham Doyle:

We spend a lot of time talking to local authorities about direct builds and trying to encourage more of their own projects to be brought forward. Building back up the capacity over the past number of years and bringing through a pipeline of projects has been the main thing. In the city context where a lot of brownfield work is required some of those projects are a little bit more complex. However, overall across the country it has been a matter of building back up the capacity in the in the housing teams across the local authorities. As I mentioned earlier, in the past year, we have sanctioned 250 posts across the system to help them build capacity. However, we have to be mindful of getting the right skills when we recruit.
