Recommendation (the committee's words)
One of our core tasks is to monitor the policy of the DLUHC and without sufficient data we are limited in our ability to do so. We are concerned that the lack of accessible data was not foreseen or resolved in a timely manner. As the DLUHC noted themselves that there is not “sufficient data” we recommend DLUHC remedy this problem as quickly as possible. Therefore, the Department must produce and make publicly available the data on departmental expenditure and data on combined authority income and expenditure so that our committee, local government, and communities are able to access and monitor the policy’s progress.
