CLG Wants Evidence For HCA Review

The government has launched a call for evidence about the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) as it considers whether to axe the body. The CLG has published a consultation paper asking a series of questions about the work and performance of the HCA. This is part of a review, announced last month, which will examine whether there is a “continuing need for a non-departmental body” carrying out the HCA’s role. The call for evidence asks six questions, including whether the HCA’s purpose and priorities are “clear to you and correct for the future”. It is also asking how effectively the HCA carries out its functions, what skills it requires in the future and for views about how efficient the HCA is in delivering its objectives.
