For information: Paper 4 HRA Annual Report 2024:
We lay our annual report and accounts before Parliament on a yearly basis.
Our annual report describes the work of the HRA and outlines some of the most significant achievements and sometimes challenges.
This paper provides a working draft of the HRA’s annual report for 2023-24. Karen Williams, Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Resources at the HRA who leads on the development of this report will join the meeting to explain how the HRA is approaching this and ask for your views on our approach. This is a long document and an early draft, so we are not asking for you to read this in detail – house style, editing etc is still to take place. Instead, we are interested in your views on the approach that we are taking.
