No other member is offering to speak right now, but members will have a chance to contribute after I have asked a few questions. As long as we keep the meeting within the two-hour timeframe, we will be okay.
I will ask my questions in no particular order of importance. I see that the Department is piloting a caravan scheme. My understanding is that these are replacements for existing caravans, many of which are substandard and that people freeze in during the winter. When will it be rolled out nationally and how quickly? For people living in poor caravans, the thought of another winter is horrendous.
