My first question which is related to the immigrant community is to Mr. Heylin and Ms Mbugua.

There is widespread criticism of direct-provision centres as a model. Is that the best place to have families that have endured the type of experience about which we are talking in terms of domestic violence and sexual violence? What is the Department's view on that? Is there an intention to cease the practice of direct-provision centres?
