I thank Ms Harrington for her presentation. We are all worried about people in direct provision, particularly those who have been there for years. If people come out of direct provision, how difficult is it for them to access rent supplement because people have contacted me and this seems to be the greatest difficulty they face? It relates to trying to find somewhere to stay with the amount they receive.
