I thank the Chair. I appreciate that. I thank the witnesses for joining us here and online. I will pose the same question to them as I have asked every local authority. When a person goes into recovery, is their time on the housing list suspended? I have asked other local authorities this question. If a person spends three, six or even 12 months trying to get on their recovery journey, they should not lose their time nor should their time on the list be suspended. Every local authority has confirmed to me that is not its policy. I want to have on record whether it is the same for the authorities represented here today.
