It would just seem a bit reckless in terms of bringing people in and encouraging them to come for relatively low-paid employment without having housing solutions for them. A bad situation is getting worse. Their expectations may not be met. It is not fair. If people are coming from Spain and taking up relatively low-paid jobs, it is unfair for them to arrive and then maybe have to share a room with multiple other people. That is the point I am making. The emphasis should perhaps be on trying to utilise the skills and other experience of people from Ukraine who are here already.
