Mr. Kevin McCarthy:
We consistently keep projections under review in respect of both international protection and Ukraine. There is consistent reporting on projections of potential arrivals, accommodation supply and potential associated shortfalls at any time. There are many variables in that, particularly on the Ukraine front, where the rate of arrivals can be unpredictable. On international protection, we are seeing a fairly consistent flow as regards numbers.
