The difficulties with the NDP are not necessarily to be found in the area of raising finance. The National Roads Authority, the Railway Procurement Agency and the Housing Finance Agency have been established to garner finance in their various fields of interest, and a national waste management agency will probably be established soon. Why has the Minister not considered giving more power to those agencies to raise funds, instead of establishing a new quango as a further layer of bureaucracy? These agencies are unable to generate the funds they need to carry out the work they wish to do.
