I ask the Chair to let me press one thing. I refer to the decrease in the August figures by 270 adults and children. There are 190 fewer adults and 80 fewer children in emergency accommodation. Is it fair to assume that there is a possibility that some of those have not exited homelessness, but have been recategorised under the change in counting method? People will see those figures published today. If that is just a straight reduction and those people are now in full-time tenancies, that is good news. However, if people have been recategorised and are still not in permanent tenancies that is something different.
