This goes back to what I said earlier about how the comparable funding now seems to be the same. According to the figures given today on the loans from the HFA, the same amount is going to the local authorities as to the approved housing bodies. There is an accountability issue with regard to the approved housing bodies. Do we not now need to look at this issue? Will we have problems in the long term with these organisations? I know that, in fairness, they are doing a very good job in the here and now but what about in five to 15 years' time?
