It is a myth however that there was no oversight. Over one million homes were insulated under the scheme. Of that 86 have been linked with fires. Compared with any other industrial process, you have to admit that's not a bad result. The total number of approved suppliers was over 7300; twenty were removed for failure to comply with its terms.
As for the foreign property issue, I was referring to the general rather than the specific. Indeed, they were introduced to improve housing supply. Of course, there is not a political party in the country that explicitly notes - or seems to understand - the difference between land and housing, so the results are not surprising.
