Ultimately, for me it is about accountability and that this debacle should not happen. Of course, this raises the question of whether it will arise with other approved housing bodies or entities. The governance has utterly failed and right up to today, that entity has flatly refused to come before us. Even with a new chair who has immense experience of public accountability, that entity has refused to come before us today. Does that not augur badly? Plus nothing has been learned.
