I want to make a point. Caranua talks about their survivors, but they are all of our survivors.

We have a role here as does the Comptroller and Auditor General. Weaknesses in controls can have consequences. That is why we pay particular attention to these. I do not want to duplicate what Deputy Cullinane has gone through on the level of the sample and the numbers which have been repeated over several years. However, take the consequences of not clarifying if a tenancy is a secure one. For example, we could be spending money assisting some vulnerable people but they may get a short duration out of that benefit. Take the list of the housing supports in the briefing note. Many of them are fixed such as the replacement of windows and doors, carpets, floor coverings, heating systems, roof repair and so forth. Some of them such as white goods, wheelchair and walking aids would be transferable.

Has Caranua experience of where a tenancy has not survived long after a payment has been made?
