I would make two requests of the Minister of State for the benefit of this committee. He might report back on these requests as soon as he possibly can. I request an analysis of current voids in every Traveller accommodation scheme in the country. There are only 31 local authorities. My second request is that he would provide us with a comprehensive report of the proposals that have gone through the Part VIII process, which involves a public consultation planning process - in essence, the Part VIII proposals that have been completed. We should consider those two sets of analysis first because that is something we can achieve and turn around pretty quickly. The committee would be very interested in those two pieces of analysis.
