We are examining model rents and are taking into account the amount currently paid by council tenants because they will also come within the remit of HAP. We are seeking to ensure a fair affordable rate is set for each category of family. All of the work is not yet complete. As such, I cannot give the Deputy a definitive answer in terms of what each family will be expected to pay. We will make that information available as soon as the next Bill, which will deal with the transition to HAP, is published, which probably will be in the autumn.
