Ms Annette Aspell:

In terms of Part V, yes we are confident that we are receiving the numbers of Part V that were due in. The planning applications are assessed to make sure we are receiving what we are due. The housing department meets with the developers through the preplanning process, and we are involved in the process from the outset. I would be very confident on that.

With regard to people who are receiving the termination notices, I hear reports from our homeless team that we are seeing an impact from the moratorium on notices to quit and that not as many people are presenting as homeless at the moment. We are actively monitoring that. Obviously, access to emergency accommodation is always difficult but we keep that under review to try to make sure we have the emergency accommodation that we need available. At the moment, however, and particularly with families, the intervention around the notices to quit does seem to be having an impact.
