I welcome all of our witnesses. They have been with us several times in recent years. I appreciate the engagement, in particular in light of the report, which we published. It is important to continue coming back to that and make sure that actions follow from it. I will return to that in a moment.

I am interested in how Ms Hayes mentioned that on balance we have the same level of presentation and she pointed to the ability to exit homes as being the challenge. What percentage of people in emergency accommodation have an ability to exit it? What I mean by that is what percentage would be eligible for HAP and social housing, for example?
