Ms Helen Faughnan:

Deputy Mitchell, on the exceptional needs payments, again cases vary. Some people would have a rent deposit available to them: they were renting, they got their deposit back from the landlord and they would be expected to use that deposit for their next tenancy. We would keep details of the rent deposits made, so it does not matter what part of the country they were in if they received a deposit. Generally, we would not be in favour of households receiving a second deposit.
