It would be really good if Ms Timmons could clarify it because from talking to housing managers, my understanding is they do not believe they can proceed with those and that the acquisitions must be in line with the Minister's call for housing, which is vacant ones and fours. If the Department is now saying an occupied property of any size with a HAP or RAS tenant who has a vacant possession notice to quit and who is at risk of homelessness could be purchased, that would be very valuable. If Ms Timmons could clarify that it would be great. Maybe she could come back on the HRC and the other questions in writing, if possible.
