I will come to that in a second. A lot of work went into the underlying definition of homelessness that is used in the publication of these figures. It involved the National Homeless Consultative Committee and the data subcommittee of that in 2013 and 2014. A very clear definition of homelessness was agreed at that time underpinning the figures that have been presented since. The figures have not deviated in my view or the view of many people involved in that. This is presented as a homeless report. What is the Minister's understanding of the definition of homelessness that underpins this monthly report?
