The Minister said that when he took over there were 3,000 unaccommodated international protection applicants. That figure is down to 600 today. When the Minister says "unaccommodated", does he know how many of them are in tents? Are any of them in tents or are they in emergency accommodation in hotels? If it is the latter, what is the cost for them as against the cost for people in regular, contracted accommodation?
