Mr. Graham Doyle:
In terms of the standards relating to HAP, there are strong standards in place in terms of the quality of accommodation and the expectations around the type of accommodation as it is provided. There is an inspection regime. For example, it is required that a new HAP tenancy is inspected within eight months, as the Deputy probably will know.
