Moves to create a single housing inspector and give regional assemblies the power to allocate development funds will not mean the end of the Housing Corporation, housing minister Lord Rooker stressed last week
He said: "The Housing Corporation will be fully involved in the regional allocation and distribution of housing funding. There will be a shared decision-making process." The quango was a "really good organisation that will be around for a long time", he said.

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister will hold talks with the corporation and Audit Commission on the best way to proceed with the new, single inspector, Rooker added.
