Does someone else wish to come in first? No. Regarding the numbers, I outlined that the Parliamentary Budget Office estimated, I think, 110,000 may be here in the early months of next year. I do not know what analysis was done. It is difficult to do. What kind of figures are we looking at? There are challenges and it is not a good situation where anyone has to be housed in a tent. What provision is being made if those figures are believed and there may be 110,000 seeking refuge here? What are the challenges and what is the provision? The Minister outlined the difficulties in terms of delivering modular homes. Key target dates for putting in place the badly needed modular homes were missed consistently. If there are to be 110,000 in the early months of next year, what provision is there to ensure that none of those are in tents? We then have internationally displaced persons as well on top of that. There are many challenges.

There is another area I want to get a view on. It was reported, in the context of the committee on Ukraine on which the Minister sits that there was a discussion with a view to cutting social welfare benefits for Ukrainians. There was a report due on that matter. It was not published.
