| 10 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 364) “I am surprised to hear that, because the Report says all the way through that there is a lot that could have been done differently and that still could be done differently. Is it your assessment that you are quite comfortable that, other than tweaking around the edges, most of the decisions were solid and you would go …” | 63 |
| 10 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 364) “I am going to cover specific points, but first, you came in after it had started; hindsight is a wonderful thing, but so is a fresh pair of eyes. You are looking in two years into the process, so are you comfortable that everything was fine and there was nothing you would change? The way you presented the answer is not…” | 139 |
| 10 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 364) “Why did you offer such favourable terms—the 2% simple interest rate over the whole loan period—for the loans? It sounds to me as though, on a period of reflection, that could have been done differently. That may be a learning lesson.” | 41 |
| 10 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 364) “Permanent secretary, what assessment have you made of the risks of managing this loan book in isolation?” | 17 |
| 10 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 364) “Would it not be more efficient to consolidate the DCMS loan book with others across Government?” | 16 |
| 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) “And you have assured yourself that this was a highly unusual, one-off situation, not something that is going on elsewhere?” | 20 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “I don’t think it is the scheme. What I heard was that, within the Department, one person managed to cause quite an issue with data. My worry is that there are more points of failure within the Department. The assurance I am looking for is that, based on what you have found out in this instance, you have done that work …” | 83 |
| 3 Feb 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 362) “Yes. I was going to ask a couple of questions about the building safety levy in particular. You say that you are going to start collecting it in the autumn. What needs to be in place to start collecting the building safety levy in the autumn? Are you on track to do that?” | 53 |
| 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 |
