This is a difficult issue because we could all suggest many groups. We may need more than one session on homelessness because this is the Committee on Housing and Homelessness. There was a debate during the previous meeting about inviting organisations or those who are directly affected to come before the committee. We have to do both. It would send out a terrible message if the committee met but did not speak to people who are experiencing homelessness. We should agree that and not have a standing row about it.
