Mr. John McKeon:
That reflects the fact that the labour market is improving and the number of people on the live register is falling. During the Covid period, people on the pandemic unemployment payment who had a rent requirement received rent supplement. As they go back to work, they do not require rent supplement, or if they are still unemployed, they move on to the housing accommodation payment.
