| 10 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 364) “Okay. Lastly from me at the moment, the Report mentions—or looks into—that by managing the loan book in isolation, how it fits in with the Government’s portfolio of financial assets is not quite as clear as it could be. How does the DCMS loan book fit in, from your perspective, as part of the Government’s overall asset…” | 58 |
| 10 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 364) “On that point about doing the thinking about where this fits in, can you talk about the timescale? Certainly to me, but also to others, it feels like you should be doing that right now. It feels as though understanding how it fits in strategically is work that should have been done already. So when will it be done? Whe…” | 67 |
| 10 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 364) “For my last question, I want to go back to my first question: if you had to do this all again, based on your answers in the past 10 minutes, is there anything you want to update? Would you do anything differently?” | 42 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “I want to move on to a question for Richard about skills and capacity. As you speed up identification of the buildings, are you assured that there are sufficient skills and capacity in the market to remediate at the new pace you are looking for?” | 45 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “Helen, you were talking about the efforts to identify the buildings earlier, and that is a fairly hefty amount of work that you have to do. Can you give us some evidence that it is working and that you are getting through it and doing what you need to do?” | 50 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “Giles, I want to talk about the remediation code of practice. Is it making a difference on the ground?” | 19 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “Are you seeing anything positive about this? How is it making a difference? It has to be doing something—or maybe it does not.” | 23 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “David, why are not all developers signed up to this yet? Could you answer that and offer some reflections on what Giles just said?” | 24 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “So you are saying that everyone who should be signed up to it is signed up to it.” | 18 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “That would be good. Rhys, can you tell me whether all social providers are using the code?” | 17 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “David, what is being done to ensure that it is not sinking down and that it is being kept front and centre and given the attention that it needs? It is more than just words; it is an actual code of practice that needs to be put into practice.” | 49 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “Okay. I will just make the point that there is a definite disconnect between what Giles is saying and what David and Rhys are saying, and to my mind it seems to be on action rather than words. What I am hearing is that the industry is signing up to it and ticking the box, but is it taking that tick and moving into actu…” | 81 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “No—thank you.” | 2 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “Going back to social housing, David, what can we expect to see developers doing to unblock cost disputes with social providers?” | 21 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “Are you comfortable that the work and the common endeavour to get through disputes is happening? It is not nice to be in dispute—it impacts the way we all act—but as long as we are doing it with a common endeavour, we can get through it. Are you confident that members have the right mental and social approach as well a…” | 63 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “This is a UK-wide problem, not just an England problem, and I want some assurance that there is some co-ordination among the home nations generally, because if you are increasing the resource in one part, you could be taking resources away from another. What I do not want to see, or would hate to see, is that suddenly …” | 109 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “Can you talk about the challenge I put to the building industry in the last session? It’s okay to say you do that; it’s okay to have a protocol in place, but the working relationships can be the difference between something working and not. Is it a good, robust working relationship among the home nations in order that …” | 87 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “Good. Thank you for that.” | 5 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “I am a former local council leader, and my alarm bells started to go there. Given where we are with needing to set resources ahead of budgets, are you confident that local authorities can do that? It is all very well for them to say, “Yes, we can do it in six months,” but are you happy with that?” | 59 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “Are they aware of the plan? They will not have to wait until the legislation goes through to get enough of the details to begin the workforce planning and the resource implications that they are going to require.” | 38 |
