His terms of reference are to carry out project management duties on several key capital housing projects on a part time basis. He works under the direction of a senior officer within the Department. The consultant is professionally qualified to undertake the duties assigned to him. The nature of the services provided by this consultant do not warrant indemnity policy cover. All financial, programme and project decisions relating to the consultant's work are ratified by my Department. I hope this clarifies the consultant's status.

To date all such properties sold as a result of Section 13 Agreements have been provided with NHBC warranties. These warranties provide the initial or subsequent purchaser with cover for making good of defects arising in the first two years of the life of an individual dwelling and a 10 year structural warranty from the date of completion of the dwelling and therefore, I trust, would meet the objective of the matter raised in the Keys. I enclose for your information, as requested, a copy of the original Section 13 Agreement for the Pulrose Farm development.
