Let us deal with the specifics of it. There are 9,500 children in IPAS accommodation at present. We will say the number is 10,000. Let us say some of them have a lone parent and some will have two parents. Then we are talking about another 15,000 people, or 25,000 in total. Is the Deputy saying there is no issue and they can all stay here?
