I ask our witnesses to help us the square the circle because I believe it is a very fair point. Clearly, for somebody in an eviction scenario, the tenantin situscheme is the single biggest intervention that can be made to prevent them needing to require emergency accommodation, yet Mr. McCafferty is correct in that the completion rates or the level of interest rates for the scheme are not necessarily matching the recorded figures that were mentioned there earlier, for example, with the RTB.
Could Ms Hayes comment on that because if there is a low rejection rate of the process by landlords, why are we not then getting the higher number of people availing of the scheme from both sides?
