I entirely take Mr. Purcell's point that the provision of local authority housing in dealing with this would not be either feasible or, indeed, appropriate in many cases. I accept that point but I wish to go back to the issue we discussed earlier regarding the targets for how long this has been processed. From dealing with this issue in my constituency, it appears to me that it is pivotal to handle the applications as quickly as possible as well as giving people an understanding of how long it can take. That can go some way towards allaying much of the difficulty we are discussing.
