Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

Clearly, major pressure is coming on the system as a whole. We are at the front end of it in terms of the accommodation pressures. However, there are wider service pressures in terms of managing and responding to all the needs of people on arrival. Obviously, people in the international protection system can have very particular needs. Much work has been put into developing good systems to ensure those needs are met in a timely way. Those processes come under strain when the numbers accelerate, as we have seen over the course of this year.
