I have a question with regard to the selection of tenants. Accusations have been levelled against the voluntary housing sector that it cherry-picks tenants and that more troublesome tenants are left to the local authority to house. I have not found great evidence of that but I have heard from different parts of the country that those accusations have been levelled at various housing associations. Are the tenants it gets 100% nominations by the local authority from the local authority waiting list? Obviously, it has estate management issues to deal with. Is it the case that at times they may be refused on the basis of the tenant's history?
