Ms Marguerite Ryan:
These are allocated dwellings. The responsibility to continue housing support for that tenant therefore rests with the local authority. The local authorities will put plans in place to accommodate those tenants. We do not know what the objective of the owners of the property will be at the end of the lease. They may seek to sell the properties. There may be opportunities for the local authorities to buy them in that case.
